We start properly next week so I thought we might as well have a final placeholder in case there are things to share - work doesn't stop, so TLQ important stuff should also carry on! Autumn is slowly getting going here, and I needed to wear a cardigan for a couple of hours yesterday which was a pleasant treat.
Here's Shoutypants having a nice bath to be all spruced up ready for the start of the new session - cats are so bendy (and black cats are hard to photograph).
I SO do not want it to be the start of the trimester. :-(
ReplyDeleteThis week just gone I fed back on the last bits for Junior PhD student (well, nearly. A little more to do on Monday), the revise and resubmit paper is RESUBMITTED, I did a bit of work on a related grant application, I worked on the paper due 15th Sept but we have a LOT left to do, sigh (special issue deadline. Time I guess for some of the embarrassing special pleading stuff). went to the Away Day which felt pretty pointless, went to various meetings and did one training (one urgent one still to do on Monday) and got a fairly large chunk of teaching prep done. not enough, but a chunk.
Coming week is the last one before students return and has fewer meetings in it. MUST finish the teaching prep, work on the paper with the 15th deadline, set up four VLE sites, work on a shorter contribution for a different paper... sigh!
