Dispatch from the Academia Mines

[kriz1818]

The weekend was vastly improved by the realization that due to my brilliant planning, the last week of class will be devoted to student presentations!  So, I only have 5 weeks of frantic lecture-planning to get through.  Plus, once I get through this week and next week - the following 2 weeks are one class each, thanks to Easter!  There's a reason to like that holiday after all.

And now, back to the task-whomping (a process very similar to mole-whacking, believe me).
