You never hear about them, but every winter (or autumn… whichever… there are only 2 seasons in Texas anyhow), midsemester draws nigh, and the work load increases exponentially.  The academic doldrums become evident, and tiredness abounds.  Woe are we.

It’s not all so bad, though.  We’re alive, we’re fed, and we get sleep (usually).  It’s all a matter of perspective.

This is a note for me, more than anything else, because the doldrum winds are violently not blowing.
