Crunch Time
Dec. 12th, 2012 04:41 amI gave the final in my Algebraic Structures class last night. Late last night: the last student handed in his test at 8:25 PM. Needless to say, I haven't started grading them yet. Today at noon is the Engineering Math final. I expect to spend much of tomorrow afternoon and most of Thursday grading; I'm leaving town on Friday. Also, there's a major committee meeting I've got to attend on Thursday....
I finished reading Caro's Master of the Senate last night. The climactic chapters, dealing with the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1957, are excellent, and I will have to post a review - but probably not until after I return from California. (I won't have time before I leave, and I'm not lugging a doorstop volume to and from unless I'm in the middle of reading it.)
After an almost-balmy week, the weather has turned sharply colder the last few days. We didn't crack freezing on Monday, frex. (Walking home from the bus stop last night at about 9:30 PM was not fun.)
Heigh-ho. Back to work.
