Things are pretty tight at the moment – so not much time for blogging. The lecture is taking up most of my time; I am quite a bit ahead with my preparation, but I have to keep up.

I guess it will also lighten my load a little, should I ever be offered one that I decide to take on (many implicit ifs here). But I do enjoy teaching and would like to do a little more on a university level.<\/p>\n
