Darn Cornell...

beccastareyesSo, today is Labor Day. Classes are in session at Cornell, but the staff (except professors, and people needed to handle classes) have today off. Yeah, I don't get it either, especially since classes start on Thursday, and there still isn't the same number of days in Fall and Spring semesters (73 days in Fall versus 75 in Spring -- if they started classes on Monday instead of Thursday, and then gave us Labor Day off, it would balance out).
Funny story -- Labor Day three years ago was my first TA experience. Guess who assumed Cornell didn't have class on Labor Day? Good thing I checked on Sunday.
Now, as it happens, I am pretty stuck on research, so I might give it the old Grad School try, then head home early. In other words: it is currently 1 PM. Unless my advisor is looking for me, or I have an angle on something to do, I am catching the 4 PM bus home. Or I have tea. I don't leave tea sitting if at all humanly possible.
