Final exams week is here

The final exam week started last Friday and it shows. Yesterday during the early evening mass, the church was unusually overflowing with students, most probably imploring for Providential assistance during these "trying" times. On the other hand the computer lab where students pay to rent a computer on an hourly basis was empty this morning whereas it had always been full of students during the regular semester.

The "storm before the calm"

This final week of the semester promises to be a very busy one, with exams to grade, grades to compute and post, exams to make and give, thesis students to talk to plus a host of paperwork and other things related to my humble but indispensable administrative position here in our department. I can't wait to get all that over and done with and enjoy a short vacation--before it starts all over again once the summer term begins.
