This year is going so quickly!

Yes, I know: it's a banal thought. All the same, I can't believe it's the end of May already. I had my last classes for the semester today, designed around my best advice to my students about exam preparation. Although there's a mountain of marking to descend on me, that's the teaching for another semester over, and it'll soon be winter again. It doesn't seem that long since the events (some good, some very bad) of summer.
