done, done, done and DONE

Spring 08 is in -- done, over and finito...

I had a student hand his paper in at the latest possible moment... he claims a chain of calamaties that seems pretty plausible --- and his paper isn't all that different from an earlier draft, so I know he wasn't spending the time working on it...

I had a hallway meeting with the elder statesmen/faculty guy... really, dude, give it up. Some students just don't like you -- and she's one of them. You'd think that after all this time and experience you'd realize that and not take it personally.

For now, I'm going to close up the office and not think about it for a while...

YEA!
