Great Week

Things are getting busy for me here. I sat in on a class today, and I listened to a brilliant lecture from a touring US professor. Tomorrow I have a meeting with the head of the department, who is just back from a conference in Australia (33 hours of travel, door to door!). Wednesday I have my first teaching gig, and I'm quite excited about it. Thursday I'm going along on a fieldtrip to Sheffield. More on that later, no doubt. All very stimulating and exciting. This is why I came on sabbatical. Cue the fireworks!
