The students arrive on Wednesday, and honestly, I am looking forward to it. I’ve only been in Swansea for 6 months, and the other lecturers have been here much longer, but we’ve spent so much time in preparation that I’m really wanting to just get on with the teaching now. I want to see it all slot into place, and to finally begin to get some sort of balance between the teaching and the research. At the moment the reseach is almost all getting done in my spare time (not that I officially have any spare time any more), and it’d be nice to allocate a day or half a day to getting these papers submitted to journals and these grant proposals written.
Anyway, looking forward to meeting you all next week.
