recovery day

Was tired and probably also fighting some sort of virus. At least that’s what it felt like.

Didn’t cross over to the North, didn’t even go to Nicosia’s Old City at all. Stayed here and proofread The Prince and the Wolf for the last time. Also finished off my Annual Faculty Report, which I and one administrative colleague are dedicated to gutting and replacing during the coming year. It’s a profoundly complicated document in its current form.

And anyway, God willing, my last-ever academic promotion is just around the corner, so these things start to become a lot less stressful. Who cares if I forget to put something in the report now? (And actually, I did forget on the first draft. Forgot to mention that I continued to slave through the first half of 2010 as Chair of Senate Faculty Affairs, which was a lot of work.)

We are getting a new President and new Provost in 3 days, but it’s not alarming because we already know both of these excellent people in different roles.
