Hard December
Sorry for the slow posting, but this is a fairly bad endgame as semesters go. The only best thing that's happened to me this month is the airfare for my family trip - it's only going to run me $240 round trip from Rochester to Chattanooga. I don't think I've ever done that well!
I shouldn't whine so much - my department had a wonderful and sweet surprise farewell party at my house for a colleague who is leaving us (kinda, sorta, for a year's leave of absence and then probable final resignation). We managed, despite some email bumbling on my part, to keep it a surprise. That was a good thing and happened this month.
Alright, alright - I'll go home and light a scented candle or something and grade.
