After, let us say, a challenging semester, I was able to stay away from campus for a couple of relaxing and stress-free weeks. Upon my return (for a faculty report meeting), I found a wonderful surprise waiting for me in front of my office door: a piece of art and some classic literature. One of my most excellent students, Andrew, saw the Foo Fighters sticker on my computer and made his own rendition of their logo for me. In an addendum to his note thanking me for the semester, he wrote that he originally bought the book for himself but couldn't fit it in his luggage. He said that he thought I would enjoy it if I haven't read it before. I am a little sorry to say that I did read the book before, long before Andrew was even born... But I look forward to reading it again.
Thank you, Andrew, for all of your efforts, the great times in the class and your thoughtful present.
