Last day of term

Gah. I hate passive past tense. (You know, the one associated with scientific papers to make them feel as much like they were written by a robot as possible.) Plenty of scientific papers these days are written so they sound like humans were involved somewhere, but this lecturer likes to insist on passive past for assingments. It's mind-numbing to write, mind-numbing to read, and it turns out, alltogether pretty frustrating when I've skipped a night's sleep.

What I'd give for a "we"!
