Some of you may recognize the title of this blog as being the first line in T. S. Eliot's poem The Waste Land.  For the rest of you - does this line resonate with your current condition?

I can always feel the shift in the atmosphere as March ends and we move to April.  Students are tense and over-tired from finishing assignments and preparing for exams, not to mention worrying about employment!

This year has been particularly cruel as we enjoyed a few days of summer temperatures and warming sunlight only to be thrust back to dull skies and chilly temperatures.  The Schulich School of Business courtyard, which just last week was full of energy and socializing is empty now.  Well just as well I guess, as it's crunch time and as much as it's great to have some diversions, is it wise to be tempted at this time of year?

Hang in there!   Only a few more weeks and this term will be over.
