three sems, a quarter plus summer, eleven months of something, another semester, two months of something else, two and a half years of a newer thing, a blissful sixteen months and the new beginning of the life of someone important for someone who tries, and often fails, but is trying things out again

All Done Except for the Crying
... mostly mine, out of the sheer amount of checking that I've left for myself. And the time's not even clear for that yet! Will start the checking as soon as possible, but that may be on the 27th yet. And the conf's on the 31st! Aigh!

Anger
If I say "open notes", you'd better have a good argument that you had at least made the Internet's search engines before you can claim that citing websites can qualify as notes.

Brush Up
More of the feeling of being strung out juuuust a teensy bit. Will try to be productive now.

Closing In
Closing shop early today. With a single long exam left to give, I should be gearing into checking mode soon. Will see when I can actually do the shifting gears, what with the solution of the last CS 11 MP on the bubble with whatever can be done with the fourth module of CS 131, and some of the longest slide-sessions in CS 135 to go.
So, solutions and checking upcoming (plus the final updates to the last two modules).
Edit: Plus the quarterly inventory projection by tomorrow.

Cold... So Unbelievably Cold
This is what happens when everything is left up to the last minute. My CS 11 students did not consult (but they did use the lab), my CS 131 early takers and my CS 135 test takers are all suffering through maxed (minned?) temperature in the lab, as I scurry to make the exams for the main 6-9 event. There's also the deadline for the last CS 11 MP, to which I have not made solutions yet. *sigh*

Gone and Gain
Where my CS 131 classes are virtually over except for the crying (LE #3, and the discussion of Lagrange's and Newton's Interpolating Polynomials), my CS 11 classes burning out their free days for the last MP due in less than a week, I have uploaded all the lecture notes for, my CS 135 plods along, leaving only the all-points shortest-paths discussions prior to their long exam (which comes after the fourth seatwork on graphs and string-matching and will still be followed up by the seatwork for NP-completeness and approximation algorithms), the semester is winding up rather languidly---a lethal change of pace, as checking will be crashing down over the next four weeks. And there's still the CS 131 modules...
Drain
So early in the morning, with four or five CS 11 students taking the free day. So much left to do, as I am in the final stretch, and the to-do list has no more additions waiting---only subtractions. Of course, I have yet to check anything past the deadline for dropping, but those can be taken in one fell swoop... preferrable after the 22nd.
For today, annotation and encoding.

Time Spent
There are plans, and there are plans followed. Today's plan was to make the uploads for the MPs and reports for CS 131 and CS 135---a task I have yet to perform.
Maybe there is time yet to be spent...
Edit: Done with CS 131 MP specs.
Edit: Ditto with CS 135 bonus MP specs.
Edit: Done with the report specs for both CS 131 and CS 135. Mario is here, asserting that he is an EVIL OVERLORD. Hokay.
