In the blink of an eye

Yup, that's how quickly the semester has gone by.

It's interesting to think about how different this spring semester is from previous ones.  Things that seemed insurmountable a few semesters ago (daily lecture prep, early morning labs, service, research, students....) always seem to get done.

I don't have any new preps, so what used to take me four to six hours to prep now takes 30 to 90 minutes.  I've got committee meetings under control, and my undergrads can work fairly independently in the lab.


So hang in there, new profs!  We're practically done with the semester, right?


(This is where all you tenured profs out there can let me know that things really hit the fan post tenure....)
