Light at the end of the tunnel

and it's not a mirror reflecting the headlights...
And so the busiest week of the year comes to an end: the undergraduate program that we run finishes with us all going out to lunch at noon, and so after all the tearful goodbyes, promises to stay in touch, and (some bound to be broken) guarantees that they will continue to work on their projects, by 2 or 3pm my life will be my own again --- at least for half the workday.
Of course, the double-time graduate course that we are running still has another month to go, and 3-4 straight hours in the classroom every morning is quite tiring enough by itself!

Yours, spare-tired and exhausted,
N.


(ps: that's tyred, really, in UK-speak, but the pun doesn't work as well:-)

Thanks for stopping by my site and congratulations getting through the course with your students! The end of term always feels so great.

It must feel great to be nearing the end of all that hard work for the summer! I hope you enjoyed your half day off!

Actually, RT, it is only the 2/3 point: the 8 week program is over, but the 5 week program has another 4 weeks to go --- it is just the past week and a half I have been doing both!
