    MamaMagic replied to starter12345's topic in General Students

    MamaMagic replied to Chongcolatealmond's topic in School, College Programs

    That's fair, I apologize for my response. Things sometimes don't have the same nuance as if we were in person and I certainly don't mean to be snarky. There is still a possibility I will go if it...

    MamaMagic replied to OakRNland's topic in School, College Programs
