Elder Son, he of Grad School, has departed for school once again. Mixed feelings – sad that he’s going, but glad he won’t be here to crash any more cars (not that he was lent one after Christmas Eve)

GOOD NEWS AND BAD NEWS
Posted by silverdrag0n on 2003/12/24
The good news: the airbags worked.
The bad news: my older son, he of Grad School, borrowed my car, my beloved Ryoko Subaru-chan, and wrecked it. I am SUV-less. It’s going to be a looooong winter vacation.

End of term frantic
Posted by silverdrag0n on 2003/12/02
The piles of papers are getting deeper… and students need feedback before final exams; also must contact colleagues before they dissapear into winter vacation. No time to cruise the boards today… bummer

Monday Blues
Posted by silverdrag0n on 2003/12/01
Dang but I hate Mondays this term. My division chair gave me a schedule that has me teaching from 8:15am to 10pm, and I didn’t notice until it was too late….
The good news: it’s all over after Dec. 17!!!
