You and your annoying semesters! Five weeks and a few days to go here... (six if you count the week full of meetings after the students go home).
ReplyDeleteIt's finals week. Your misery is not my misery. I look forward to the new misery after my grades are turned in next week.
ReplyDeleteI'm still in the last week of classes (and then finals week, yay!), but this made my day. Why IS the DVR filled with "House Hunters"?
ReplyDeleteGrading here. Then prep for a short, intense, summer term. And I have edits/minor revisions for an article due back somewhere in there, too. If I'm lucky, I might get a day or two off. There are a couple of museum exhibits I want to see, but, realistically, Hiram's day (with my own less-than-productive relaxation activities and favorite foods inserted), is a more likely prospect.
ReplyDeleteHey, at least you took a walk first thing, Hiram! And didn't stay up half the night. Actually, this sounds to me like a pretty good way to spend a week or two at the beginning of summer break. And a week or so is usually enough to have me eyeing the porch and lawn (or, sadly, the apartment equivalents), the piles of research-related books, and even the writing-in-progress on the computer with renewed interest.
I love your schedule. Seriously, love it. I also want to punch someone in the stomach because I do not have that schedule right now. We have five more weeks to go, too. I know, I know, in August, while you will be baffled by the first week's of school, I'll be traveling abroad somewhere wondering why I was so upset about being in class until the end of June.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome. Get the Mrs. Hiram to read those shades of gray!
ReplyDelete117 term papers down, one to go! And then there are 118 final exams to grade! Then I am free---free to start writing that book review that the journal editor needs by May 30, and the garden needs planting, and there's the next book chapter to write... I can't wait!! (seriously, I love research and writing)
ReplyDeleteThis is torture to those of us still in the middle of a quarter ... and with kids...
ReplyDeleteYes, you've mentioned that to me before. We have 2 kids, 23 and 20 now and I have no problem saying it was busier around here in the old days. If you have kids, then you'll find some sweet release as they grow. Good luck.
DeleteI just joined you today Hiram. What a great problem to have. Let's do snacks at 11:00. I knew I was busy and overwhelmed when I realized I hadn't read this blog for a week. I had a lot of catching up to do.
ReplyDeleteGolf channel? What a fucking waste of wasted time. If you're going to waste time, don't waste the wastage with the fucking golf channel.
ReplyDeleteYoutube? Okay, that's some shit I can relate to. Pranks. Car wrecks. Bloopers. Wingsuit flying. Laughing babies. Sitar lessons. But really, fuck the golf channel. Seriously.
Golf channel. Fuck dat shit.
A good number of CM moderators past and present are avid golfers, and those same folks REALLY enjoy couch time. It's a perfect storm.
