10/13: on a quiet note

We have an abbreviated work-week this week, since tomorrow and Friday are fall break (no classes). Almost everyone I know--students and professors alike--will still plan to do catch-up work of some sort over the next few days, but it'll still feel holiday-ish because we get to set our own schedules. My last hour of work in the office today was a great start to the break: pretty much everyone else had cleared out by that point, so it was just me and my computer. I got some things done surprisingly quickly and enjoyed being so quietly efficient.
