Well it's my last class of the term, not theirs. They are graduate students and have other classes and then some exams. When I was a graduate student, I worked right through holidays. Sigh.

But, yeah, we are all tired and we keep piling on the work.

I completely agree though that last class should be fun, not the heap of tedium coming their way. I promised them at the beginning of the term that there would be no "busywork," that everything had a purpose determined by the program, the industry, etc. Is this true? I bet it all feels like pointless busywork.

Are you in classes?
