Semester is over!!! (sort of)

This semester is finally over! All three papers/projects have been submitted and I posted my grades today. It feels great to be done. Even cooler is the fact that my students had an A average in my class. That almost never happens but they worked their butts off. I'll miss this group, but at least one is taking my class next semester.

Starting tomorrow, I'm doing a four day Writing Across the Curriculum seminar. It should be cool as Kathryn (my adviser) and Moni (the department head) are leading it. I think I'll be one of two grad students there. It even pays a little, which is good. Writing center work doesn't start until May 28 so after this, I have a little bit of time off!

Paper Progress

Thanks to my buddy Seth for some great feedback and suggestion on my paper. The (near) final form it has taken owes a lot to his feedback. I'm looking forward to calling it done sometime late tonight/early tomorrow morning. I think this is the final push where sleep becomes less of a necessity and more of a luxury. I think the hardest parts are done now.

I'm actually looking forward to getting to grading because I know this crop of papers will be a good one. Also, I'm looking ahead to next semester and have already received an email from one zealous student. Interest is always good.
