It's August and the university is quiet. The undergraduate students have gone to summer jobs to repair the damage done to their bank balances or to broaden their horizons through travel. Our graduates have either done the same or are preparing for their first professional appointments. Masters course students are completing their individual dissertations in preparation for September assessment and course completions. However, the quiet is not one of inactivity; rather it is the quiet one notes when deciding if this slope with the strange black diamonds is really such a good idea. It is the quiet of "Do I really want to do this again?"
