Today's the last day of teaching in this academic year. The exams start in a week's time. Looks like I'll be busy with coursework assessments until mid-May. The marks from these courseworks count towards the overall result. Then a two-week gap before my students sit the exams for my classes on May 30 and June 6. The exam marks are due in mid-June which doesn't leave a lot of time for me to mark more than 250 exam scripts - approximately 1000 individual exam questions. Which means that the the first two weeks in June are going to be hectic too. I promised myself that I'd tidy out my office too. I have junk in there that's decades old - as anyine who's visited me in my office can attest ;-)

Murphy's Law indicates that all sorts of interesting other things will crop up to coincide with these periods of intense activity. I really must plan my time carefully for the next 6 weeks so that I don't burn-out. Must also give some thought to vacation plans.
