Back in the States, back at work. Back in black. Back in the saddle again?
Not much to report, really. I’ve been spending my days throwing out a lot of papers (between the usual detritus that litters my office, and my discoery that I only have to keep old final exams something like six months, rather than the three years that I’d imagined… well, there’s paper aplenty to be discarded) and putting the finishing touches on my job-review dossier. At some point I should finish up the course prep that’s my main reason for being back here so early. (Well, that and the fact that my contract requires it. You know how that goes.)
On the Shiny New Laptop front, rumours are circulating concerning a new line of Powerbooks, apparently to be announced mere days before the end of the special back-to-school offer. This could be good, from either the “kewl newest thing” or the “discounted Apple hardware” perspectives. Stay tuned. And if anyone cares to suggest a name (I’ve had “Heloïse” in my head, but that’s not necessarily a name with good symbolism behind it) then feel free.
OK, enough typing for now; I need to locate the mysteriously missing envelope of evaluations from one of my classes last fall. More later.
