End of the academic year

Today marked the beginning of the final exams week for the spring quarter at UC. In other words, the end of the academic year is here, and what a year it was. Congratulations to D who is graduating in a few days with an M.Sc..

I managed to teach an entirely new class for which no available textbook existed, taught 4 other classes and two will come in the summer, and completed 5 courses towards my degree. Most importantly, I passed the Ph.D. qualifier exam, which is a mandatory step on the way to a degree. In all, this was a very busy and rewarding year for both of us.

Sorry it took me so long to comment, but: Congratulations for the both of you. You should take a long vacation (preferably in Israel), you definitely deserve it.
