stoutfellowI got the Algebraic Structures finals graded and the grades posted yesterday. I'm about a third of the way through the Engineering Math finals; it'll probably take me two or three more hours at work today to finish them. Unfortunately, I'm also on the Search Committee for one of the two positions we have open, and that committee will be meeting to begin weeding through the applications today. The committee chair reserved two hours in the conference room for us; hopefully it won't take anywhere near that long.
Then I come home and start scrambling. Do the laundry, find my brother's cell phone, stock up on dog food and treats, pay off a last few bills, pick out some books to read en route, and pack. It's going to be a longish trip - I won't be back for three weeks - and man, I need the break. (There are also a couple of matters concerning students that aren't likely to resolve before I leave, and I'll probably be working on them via e-mail, but that won't be too onerous. I hope.) The family gift exchange is Saturday, and there will be other get-togethers as well; as soon as I get to San Diego, I'll have to wrap the gift I bought. I'll probably go see Dad on Saturday, before the gift exchange, and as often as possible for the rest of the trip.
One Day More....
