The good news is that exams in my classes are over tomorrow.
The bad news is that i'll have too many essay exam papers to read.
The good news is that i'm an easy grader, so long as I can see that
thought and effort went into the essays. Clever counts.

More good news: a month off to recuperate, polish up next semester's
lectures and assignments and a week off with the family someplace where
the daytime temps are in the 80's!
