I am now three weeks into the semester and surprisingly, it’s been fairly easy. The routine of teaching, grading, seminar preparation and the like are relaxing, even enjoyable. My students are graduate level in the School of Public Policy at George Mason. Because we are in D.C., some of my students are as senior as I am. And, I am learning from all of them.
At the same time, I have started a book project and am busy shopping out an Op Ed about the President’s science budget–which hasn’t been released yet. Although… there was a leak that made it to the Washington Post in the last day or so.
For fun, over Spring Break, I’ll be headed to Paris with my wife. We plan to take advantage of all the excellent advice that we have received from friends and even ex-colleagues at NSF. So enjoying life…
