Back to back conferences with just days back home in Tallahassee between travel to Library Research Seminar IV (London, Ontario) and ASIS&T (Milwaukee, WI), and my travel luck which had been holding up pretty well finally ran out; I caught some sort of flu/cold on the last day as I headed for the airport in Milwaukee. Still, I managed to teach class from a hotel room in Milwaukee on Wednesday night, flew all day then drove home from the airport to teach class in Tallahassee on Thursday night before the real collapse hit; dragged myself through my appointments Friday, spent a long hour afterward struggling through Homecoming parade traffic jams; pretty much collapsed into the worst of the illness at that point, but fought back to vertical again and managed to join Convocation on Saturday morning (aha! so that's what the display near virtual Shores Building was all about, I noticed it earlier and wondered; cheers to Dr. Paul Marty & Dr. Michelle Kazmer on bringing Second Life into the Commencement ceremony, and fun to see Dr. Peter Jorgensen sitting there too.)
I'm feeling slightly better today, and about ready to start the process of posting up grades. I enjoyed reading all the student papers, as always! Getting to hear all the interesting things that FSU students are doing and exploring is one of the joys of teaching. Will be back to talk a little more later, but for now had better stick to using the energy that I have for getting grades and feedback posted. Great to be home for a while (or at least until Thanksgiving week!)
