Research, grading, lesson planning, administrative duties -- it will definitely be a full-time job.Devorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09693966460555029247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2021018396092223222.post-40657018689611515952010-11-02T10:54:06.814-07:002010-11-02T10:54:06.814-07:00Same here: this marks the second weekend in a row ...Same here: this marks the second weekend in a row that I came to the office.

I have the added pleasure of spending this next weekend at a conference. Have I written my paper for said conference? Oh definitely not. That's what I get to do tonight.<br /><br />And to verify that I'm a human, I had to type the word "splagg." Splagg indeed.Brent D.

Then promptly pick up tons of new and exciting hobbies, friends, etc. that will make you wonder where the heck the weekend went anyway!DosiDoughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335904512198498565noreply@blogger.com
