Free At Last

Well, I will be in about five hours. Today is the last class of the semester, and I’m sort of limping to the finish line.

Since last week, I’ve been inundated with last-minute work, including school-related activities such as writing the final exam, coming up with review materials, and preparing a lecture on anti-corruption law.

To make things even more fun, my body decided to quit on me (more than usual), so I’ve been fighting some sort of ailment for the past few days. I’m thinking either Monkey Pox, Wandering Kidney or Hysterical Pregnancy. My doctors are baffled, and I’m not expecting a definitive diagnosis anytime soon. Until then, my wife’s chicken soup seems to be doing the job quite nicely.

Anyway, after today’s classroom finale, I will be able to catch up on a variety of things, including the blog. Certainly a lot of stuff out there to talk about, and I know that my Inbox currently has 119 specially flagged items for follow up, which is a scary number.

By the way, I’ll probably do a final post on this semester’s teaching at some point, which might include one or more of my final exam questions. Maybe I’ll wait until I’ve done semester grades first (next week).

  1. Geez… I haven’t read anything you’ve written in almost 20 years, and you’re still cracking me up. Nice to see the writing chops are still up to speed, if not better than ever. Dave’s been telling me to read your blog for a while now, and I decided I was so done with grading Revolutionary War projects from my 8th graders, so I thought I’d wander by. Blog looks great, looking forward to reading further in depth. I’ve got Christmas break coming up next week – we should try to Skype.

    Talk to you later -
