ich shtarb avec – i had barely managed to begin to kvetch about catching Ezi’s flu when the great computer divinity swooped down and restarted me. and you know i write on line (sometimes on this site first and sometimes on the other one – but always with a quick paste into the other one before i save.
Forget it, the unsaved is best forgotten.
Tomorrow is student day at the university – i used to enjoy it so much but nowadays classes end at 12 and the students go off and we have to stick around to figure out how we can possibly manage this semester. I should be better by tomorrow but i’d much rather be able to get into the spirit of ‘almost summer’ of the students then ‘the winter of our discontent’ of our faculty.
And we all know our students deserve the very best – equipment, teachers, support – most of them only get to university after army service so they are much older, and many many have to work to support themselves (at least 20 hours a week) so they are not allowed to live the life of the American or British campus. When I was a student I was pretty amazed by the special treatment I got, and the money and the encouragement was the cause of my success, such that it is. The students here have to have much more determination than I ever needed to get through a degree, that’s for sure.
