NCHC, APSCUF & NX - Eric's Life - Week 42 (10/14/16 - 10/20/16)
1Well, acronyms are suddenly a huge part of my life! The Seattle trip finishes off fantastically, a 14 university-wide strike rocks the state of Pennsylvania, and then the Nintendo Switch decides to change the world of gaming. What a week!
