Almost over...

Collected the last batch of final papers today, except those who mysteriously thought it best not to turn them in...not so sure how that seems like a good idea since the final paper is 20%, but, to quote O Brother Where Art Though (and maybe the Odyssey), "It is a fool who looks for logic in the chambers of the human heart." Now I just must grade them all and submit the final grades, and 'lo I shall rest and be merry like a fruit under a tree before the flies get to it and they lay their eggs under the skin and the fruit gets all squishy and then you step on it and say "hey that was a moldy fruit I just stepped on dagnabbit!" Just like that. Oh yeah. Moldy fruit, here I come.
