seasons

I hate grading at the end of the fall semester because it usually means I'm trying to get everything done before Christmas, and yes, there's a lot to do. And don't get me started on one of my graduate students who had the gall to ask me if I could read a draft if he turns one in on Friday, Dec 21 (and he means 5pm, Dec 21). That means I have to read it either over the weekend, or on Monday, Dec 24!! Yeah, buddy, sounds like a great idea. I hope I never pissed off my graduate advisers the way he keeps pissing me off.

Students, tread carefully around your teachers during this time of the year.
