spring break

Even though it's spring break, I'm in my office today because I need access to some software and datasets that I don't have at home, and because, frankly, I work more efficiently and with less guilt at school than at home. (Unless I'm blogging, that is!) I didn't ask very many colleagues about their spring break plans, maybe because the internet consensus was that spring break was a time to recuperate from teaching and get some research done, and those were basically my plans, too. (Plus taxes, whee!) I assumed my colleagues here at Mystery U would do some variation on the same themes. So…

Unbalanced Reaction ponders who really needs spring break more? Undergrads or faculty? Go cast your vote at UR's blog. As for me, all I know is that I am ready for a break. Even if "break" translates into "a week of working on research and taxes without having to teach class." Figure 1. A friend of the blog sent this to me and I decided it was quite appropriate for this time of year.
