In some intangible way, this stands in for me today - dessicated in spirit after a long graduate studies directors' meeting, and wondering if the semester will ever end, to the extent that I feel that I may be merging into the building, unable any more to tell the shadow from the substance.
That meeting sounds absolutely draining (and messy...). You are nearly at the end of the semester! You'll be opening Christmas presents before you know it...
ReplyDeleteah, the gist of the meeting is that such grad admissions as we can do will be fraught and messy, since we have no money, an admin staff that's been ripped out of departments and put into Hubs, and it'll be up to each department to make sure that we fill our - say- two slots equitably and fairly and without going over quota... do you think Christmas could be put off a few more weeks?
