It seems as if we hit that fall semester running, but it takes two to 
three weeks for people to find us in the spring. I wonder if it has 
something to do with the back-to-school mindset we've all had from the 
time we were five; fall means pencils, paper, and school. Perhaps it has 
to do with minus minus degree 
temperatures that suggest hibernation is the only possibility. Then, of 
course, when the weather warms up, students avoid writing centers and 
head for parks and beaches -- you should see our tutors running after 
them with suntan lotion and bathing suits in tow (They ___really___ like 
our outreach programs).
