The first round of exams is not far away and I am busy preparing. In addition I gave a supplemental exam for CHEM-218 (Analytical Chemistry II) for students, who took the course back in the Winter term. The first assignments are done too and grading was nor too difficult, nor too long. That gives me hope that I will finish grading for the midterms in due time.Â
Departmental and graduate student seminars are a welcome break from the routine – I get a good overview what kind of research  is done in the department and new input from external speakers. After all I keep on doing research.
