My academic list of gratitude

The fall semester has come to a close, and while I only had a few grades to submit for students doing independent study courses with me, it’s still nice to think that the next few weeks will be free and clear of any immediate academic responsibilities. This doesn’t mean I won’t be doing anything academic; it just means that any academic work will likely be partnered with a comfy blanket, a purring kitten, and a dram of scotch.
