Grown up finals…

Last night I took a final exam.  Not gave, took.  It consisted of going to the oldest Mexican restaurant in the city, and partaking in spirits and food.  Our professor bought us all dinner, and we had a really fun time.  I think ALL final exams should be like that…well…at least the ones that I am taking!!  I can’t imagine buying my students dinner, let alone alcohol.

I just learned that severe weather is on it’s way - conveniently, right at the same time I give my last final.  I wonder how many will skip?  Hopefully none, because time is now a-tickin’ on the semester’s end.  I figure if any miss, then I’m going to make them pay for my gas if I have to drive back down there.

I’m now officially authoring a book chapter, so I’m very exited about that.  I’m waiting to hear back on another one I proposed, and every single day I check the conference website to see if there’s been a decision on my papers.  So far, for the past week, the status has been “Reviews complete.  Awaiting final decision.”

And that’s the wrap of the semester.  I’m getting ready to go home on Sunday for a couple of weeks.  I have no idea what to pack, which probably means I should get started on some laundry!
