I do appreciate the thought, but no thank you, in the sincerest way possible (pity there's no good way of conveying sincerity in text). And Eragon sounds like a good plan. I have two finals (wtf is up with that?) on the 15th (with all of a half hour break between them) so the 16th sounds good (as does adding one more parenthetical remark).

Clearly I need to go to bed.
