A long, long day - but one with perks! One of my undergraduates asked permission, before Spring Break, to miss the class before break because he was going to Japan. Of course! I said - but only if you bring me back some sweet chestnuts. I was half joking - but he found me these in a 7-11 (a wonderfully useful store, in that country), and I was ever so happy. And then - it's recruitment day - or rather days - for our prospective graduate students, when we try and woo the people to whom we've made offers - and one of them, from Colombia, brought gifts of chocolate and jam. The prospectives came to my graduate class (on the Botanical Empire) this afternoon - let's hope I see them again in the fall!
