Well I made it safely to England and the ISHPSSB meeting. Yesterday evening was spent in the pleasant company of Precious Little Snowflake and others. Good fun and good beer was had by all.

Tomorrow looks good with sessions on selection and homology. My own session (on teaching methods) isn't until Saturday afternoon, so I have plenty of wind-up time.

Time to get back to the classroom! Our spring semester starts tomorrow. This term I'll be teaching Calculus I and History of Math. I have a relatively light teaching load this term, as my reward for accepting a relatively heavy teaching load last term.
Things are going to be a bit hectic for me…
Heh. If you're complaining after a couple of days, you don't even want to think what three months of it has been like
I can only imagine!
