...pretty burnt out from filling out numerous evaluation forms. In fact, I nearly lost it when I saw the Dining Service's feedback forms at the Greenhouse in the Science Center. Not only have I filled out CUE Guide evaluations for four classes, but I've also bubbled a couple of departmental evaluations. Last year at this time, I had to evaluate my "freshman experience" for the Freshman Dean's Office...

Convention) spawned a cocky conventional wisdom that the holy warriors were a burnt-out force. Then from the ashes arose a new strategy of striking at the local level to seize the national agenda from the bottom up rather than the top down.
