Thanks to eeyore9990, fabu [aka melusina], frodo_esque, leela_cat, lostmoon71, magalud, secretsolitaire, tacky_tramp, venivincere, venturous, vl_redreign, vulgarweed, and waterbird, whose birthday good wishes came after I'd gone offline last night!

I did manage to finish reading the dissertation, but I fear my class will not get their papers back tomorrow. That's just how it is, though it means I have two assignments from them to grade over the weekend; short paper and a bibliography. I'll have a reading response from another class too. Plus there's class prep for next week, of course, and tomorrow afternoon will be mostly eaten by the dissertation defense.

Today (after walking Juno in the morning and dropping off a prescription) I came up to campus, had lunch, met with a PhD student nervous about comprehensive exams, then attended a talk + reception which was quite interesting (talk on Gothic cathedrals in the US); at the reception I schmoozed with our dean, which sadly doesn't really mean anything given my imminent departure. So now I'll head home and maybe see if I can grade a few papers tonight, eh? There's another job ad up that I might think about applying for, too.

Have managed some dictation this week, too, which I'm happy about. It's interesting - when I'm dictating original fic it's usually about 1000 words, when it's fanfic more like 700-800, in the same length of time. *ponders* I think one or two more goes at the original short story and it'll be ready for editing; I might even think about submitting it somewhere for formal publication. Not sure yet. I should repost last month's DD on the fic comm... maybe next week though.

miscellany, the ivory tower, birthday, thanks
