The end is very near, now. I always find that the energy level of students and teachers, too, often drops within a few weeks of the final exams. Studying can be tiring, and even the Bible says that "much study is wearisome to the flesh." Perhaps it's not so much the studying that can be tiring, as the routine of study, prepare, test, assignment, study, prepare, test, assignment.
The good news is that you all are quite used to this routine, and you as the members of the 600 level are the people who have prevailed. I have complete confidence in each of you, and I have greatly enjoyed your writing and your presence in our class. It's not good-bye quite yet, but I will miss you when the end does come. Stay in touch!
