End of semester
End of semester - which feels really strange. It's been an extremely difficult term for me, beginning with the death of a pet and a nearly-impossible deadline, and I've never quite caught up. I'm currently being avalanched with student e-mails about the research papers, which make clear by their context that some of the students have not yet begun papers which are due tomorrow. They're not long papers - but still.
A week of reading research papers (and I use the word "research" loosely - part of this exercise is to teach them to WRITE a "research" paper, and quite a number of them very obviously were not listening in class when I outlined what I was looking for). Then finals. Then a week of grading finals. Then graduation. And in the midst of this, reading the copy-edit of Ran Away , which has just come back for corrections (and they want IT by the day of graduation, too).
But, beautiful weather, and the prospect of spending a little time with dear friends.
