Winding down...

Well, the semester at NDSU is about to end. I have a couple more tests, one more week of (boring) classes and some other loose ends to tie up.

You'll be upset to hear that Dr. Salting is leaving NDSU, Sarah. He got some type of private sector job off in Silicon Valley. Something about translation software - probably right up his alley...at least pay-wise. He always seemed kind of held-back at NDSU.

What's your impression of grad school now Sarah? Still the same? Has it changed after one year and two semester of teaching classes? Your thoughts/feelings? What kinds of classes did you have this time around anyway? And what's the work load like? If you don't mind, I would kind of like to read something you have written for one of those classes--if you want, you could drop one into my e-mail (kris.smetana@ndsu.edu). (They changed the suffix.)

Chris, despite your inane searches, I'm glad to see your back in the blogosphere - well, our little corner of the blogosphere, that is. Away from the demonic entities of political blogs.

Erik, hope you're doing well with whatever you're doing. Would like to hear an update if you have a moment.

Robert, you're dead to the world my friend. I go through all the trouble to invite you here and you just disappear. What a sad day.
