NAOMI CHANA blogs on Things to Do Once She Gets Tenure. If she gets around to the Buffy course, I want a copy of the syllabus. Or better yet, the URL of the course web page. My Holy Grail language is Ethiopic, and I regret to say that some years of tenure haven't gotten me any closer to it.

I have to get started on the office-door-decorating myself.

Best wishes for a good academic year, Naomi. By the way, I have the whole year off as research leave to finish a book. Ha ha.

UPDATE: Well, I have earned it: I've been teaching full time for fifteen years, during which I've had a total of one semester of leave.
