Today is a dreary, dreary day. It has been gray and rainy all morning continuing through lunchtime. As of the moment I am writing this, the Quad Cam is showing consistently miserable outdoor conditions. Occasionally I have seen a Facilities or Landscaping truck driving […]
It is so strange to be on campus for the first couple of days after all the students leave for break. Campus seems very, very quiet and empty. You see it in the parking lots and the sidewalks and the main buildings where you normally […]
Finals are wrapping up. There’s today, and then one day more, tomorrow. Because it is coming down to the wire, and students must be getting tired and weary, I was trying to think of motivational or humorous pop culture pick me ups. Here’s what came […]
