seasonal updates
 Autumn has retreated and snow now covers the school grounds. A distinct chill is in the air, but it is unclear whether it is a result of the changing seasons or a foreboding sign of things to come. Friends and loved ones remain hopeful, however, as they turn their focus to the upcoming holidays.

I hope you've come with a growling stomach. Inside, during meal times, the tables are always filled with food. In between classes, the large tables make a perfect place to play a game of Chess.
