Hola chicos, Happy summer everyone! I can’t believe it’s finally here! Not only are we done with classes and finals, but the weather is actually reflecting the season we are in. It felt so good to take the plastic insulation off my windows and put my winter clothing away. Everyone is visibly in a better […]
