Spring Break?

So it's "spring break" but I'm still in my office, most of the day, trying to catch up on grading and other administrivia. You know what I'd love? A healthy four-hour chunk of class preparation. Now THAT sounds like fun. (I know, I know, my life is pathetic.)

This is my rebellion against "the system," against "the man": I'm catching up on reading blogs that have gone unread for nearly a month. And (in these short, sad paragraphs) I'm contributing my (admittedly unimportant) voice to the blogosphere.

What's happened: we've made our hires, and we did indeed hire the cute girl--scratch that, wonderful potential colleague--we interviewed earlier in the semester. I'm psyched. I spent a lot of time trying to recruit her to campus, even though she's not exactly in my field, and I think we'll be great lovers (er, scratch that, colleagues) in the future.

Just kidding!!!
