Back to work and a backlog

Feeling ill, but needing to get some work done:

• Dealt with new e-mails that had arrived since last night, either acting on them, deleting them, or leaving them in the inbox for later attention. This is a constant process throughout every day.
• Wrote my Mentor's Report for a colleague going through the "Teaching and Learning in Higher Education" program.
• Declined an invitation to review a paper for "Geomorphology", but recommended an alternative reviewer.
• Wrote a reference for a former student.
• Made web space for the module documentation for esc-10025 and transferred/updated material from the old WebCT site. Informed colleagues of new site details.
• Imported new essay titles from other staff into esc-10022 and esc-10023 handbooks, added my own new titles and sent a reminder to colleagues who have not yet supplied the questions I am waiting for.
• Worked on the induction/welcome letters for new students and returning 2nd-year students.
• Updated and corrected the "new students" web pages and book-buying links
