No classes this week

Dear Students,

Because of the seminar and/or strike tomorrow, there will be no English class as we agreed. Furthermore, because of the "claustro" on Thursday and Friday, we cannot have classes after 13:30 these two days. This means that our next class will be on Tuesday, October 25th. I would like to have an extra class on Thursday, Oct. 27th at 13:30. Does this work for you? Please, talk and let me know by e-mail or this blog (you can leave a comment) if this is OK. I will need to reserve a room!

Clarifications:
The next time we meet, we will continue with presentations.

Have a good week!

Sabrina
