Quentin's Weeknotes 12/11/22-12/17/22

This Week:

• A bit of calm after the storm. The semester is over, and now it’s time to pick up some of the projects that got piled on my desk and ignored.
• I ordered some supplies for our upcoming student-created exhibit about Micronesia.
• I did some Christmas shopping for friends and family.
• I wrote and submitted some letters of recommendation for students applying to grad school. Here’s hoping they make it through, given that it’s mostly a scam.
• I finished reading Catherynne Valente’s “Space Opera” a funny love-letter to campy and outrageous music, wrapped in a bewildering and rich first-contact story.
