Thanksgiving break was much appreciated, but it's good to be back. As usual, on the drive back up north we saw either a deer or a Christmas tree on the tops of many cars. Surprisingly, the one thing I didn't see on those south-bound automobiles was snow. The word is that there was a huge snowfall in Houghton during Thanksgiving break, but most of it melted by the time we got back.
Students have many opportunities to entertain and culture themselves.
Currently they could go to see A Christmas Carol in the famous Calumet Theater, attend the MTU's jazz concert, watch the MTU basketball and volleyball teams play, or go to a two-dollar movie in Fisher Hall. These are all worthwhile events to attend, but some of them cost money. Snow, on the other hand, is free.
