Wow. What a week. I am still recovering. I'm more tired from 30 hours of nothing but Statistics in four days than chasing a bored seven-year-old around the house. Or 175 teenagers around the classroom. It was more of an intellectual exhaustion. Or so "they" claim. ("They" would be pretty much anyone I've complained to about this.)
