Today was Valedictory Dinner at my college.  Since I'm finishing my degree
this semester, I counted as a valedict.  Of course I've only stayed here
for a year whereas most other valedicts are finishing three or four year
degrees.  Some guys had prepared a slideshow of photos of the last few
years and a movie which was rather amusing.  Someone also played a nice
prank  &mdash; he suddenly removed some flags from the wall of the dining room
(we have flags of all the nationalities from our college there) and behind
he had written <i>farewell</i>.

Now I have to prepare for a presentation on my research which I'll have
tomorrow morning.  The slides are fortunately done, but I have to fix the
handout one of my colleagues has written and add some references.
