I've managed to finish my grading. Yipee! What this means is that the semester is finally beginning to wind down. Sure, there will be some grading left to do, but it will be relatively less onerous. Three classes left to teach, a handful of graduate student papers, and some short pieces from my undergraduates. Then Fall graduation and convocation ... and then the winter break (a.k.a. time for writing all those book reviews and suchlike that were put off this semester).

I just got this in the mail, and smug elitist that I am, I thought it was worth passing along.
I'm teaching two classes this semester: one introductory course which is a repeat from last semester and one upper-level course with laboratory, which is a new prep.
So, I hear you are starting your second semester of physics. One of the cool things about physics is that the second semester still uses stuff from the first semester.
