While on a charter bus with fifty other College of Wooster students, I received an email from Sarah Bolton, president of the College of Wooster, saying that the College, under advisement of the governor of Ohio, would be switching to online classes due to the first confirmed cases of coronavirus in Ohio.

Classes
When I signed up for classes months before arriving here, I was told to pick eight or so courses and I would then be assigned a sixty credit schedule (twenty credits per class). I picked all of the creative writing classes offered, all of the Scottish history classes, and all of the Scottish literature classes.…

Come all ye diabetics and lament about blood sugars… …’Twill be fun. : I love the nurse at my high school. She is so awesome and hip and cool. At my old middle school I didn’t really like the nurse, but here she’s awesome. So the other day I’d been having high blood sugars for…
