Semester's End

So the semester ended yesterday with the class in which my group did a presentation. Next week is Shavuot and then after that I have to start crunching hard for exams that cover a lot of material but don't give me a lot of points. I turned in some bureaucratic papers for next semester's classes and I hope I get a response fast enough that I know what I'm actually doing with myself next year. If I have to reorganize all my plans at the last minute I will get cranky.

I did get confirmation on my official position regarding university faculty which is nice in retrospect.
