Semester Break

I can't believe how fast first semester flew by and just like that....it's quiet around here.  Final grades were due to the University by noon today and our registrar's office is working extremely hard to entry the grades so the students can find out if the late night cramming paid off!  Considering it was the graduate school's first-ever semester...I think it went well and judging by the students' feedback, they thought so, too.  Although the students aren't around, allowing the faculty to take a much needed break, the University administration and staff will be hard at work over the holiday break.  Many of us say we get twice as much work done when the students aren't around.  So this won't be my last post of 2009!!
