To those of my students who had hoped I'd be gone all quarter, I'm very sorry to disappoint you. Or, rather I'm not sorry at all. Keep wishing. It'll make things that much more amusing for me to see all those dour faces.
That said, however, I will not be teaching any classes this quarter, except to cover for other professors as need be. I will be available at the clinic per my regular schedule, and for appointments. Try not to send me too many of your pets, you're not supposed to be trying to break them, you know.
