Pros and Cons of the past week:
Pro: My new group of students is great! They're pretty much the polar opposite of last year's group, which caused me no end of stress. They're nicer to each other, more interested in learning, and less...bad. I'm actually looking forward to going into work every day.
Con: I treated myself to a Toyworld Constructor set - it's a third party Transformers Devastator - and opened it up to find three of the figures were defective. I won't hear back from the shop until at least their Monday business hours, but I was really looking forward to that set and it was so disappointing. The defects won't actually affect the combined Devastator mode, but for what it cost, it's unacceptable. I'm likely going to end up returning it and not having that Masterpiece-style set of Constructicons.
Pro: iPad Pro, as in I got myself an iPad Pro today. I need to get a cover and screen protector, but after seven years with my current tablet, I'm upgrading, and all my apps will be up to date.
Pro: My graduate class is not meeting this coming week, and the work for the week is very low-impact. The major project that accompanied this class - a thirty hour collaborative project - is actually designed with full-time employed professionals in mind, meaning it won't interfere with my job! Finally - a professor that gets it!
Con: I can't think of any other cons. Overall, it's been a pretty decent week.
