There is no good reason NOT to keep the rest of winter semester virtual

As is commonly known, the rest of the Winter 2022 semester after reading break is going to be shifted from virtual delivery to in-person classes. And while I understand that it may just sound like the ramblings of a lazy student who doesn’t want to leave the house

There should be a big rock in downtown Calgary and I should be allowed to climb it

At this point, little more needs to be said about the state of Calgary’s downtown.
