The remnants of last summer's morning glories - the wind has been so strong even since we've arrived that I can guarantee that there will be lots of little MG volunteers come next summer. I just managed to get off a Zoom call about graduate funding patterns to see the tail end of the sunset (no - no news there about next year - the current office staff and I (actually, as of today I should say the former office staff, since supposedly they've taken up their new roles) were Onboarding the new graduate adviser - an impossible task, in some ways, since, as we kept saying, each case ends up being very different. Like seedpods.
UGH. That sounds like a depressing and stressful Zoom call. I feel for all the grad school applicants right now and for the faculty and administrators on the other side of the table.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. And, you know, it's late on Friday 19th December, and we still haven't been told how many admissions slots we can have. That's stressful indeed ...
