Happy New Year, postgrads! A big congratulations to all those who have recently graduated. There was a rush of submissions in late 2014, and lots of AUT postgrads ticked big achievements off their academic bucket lists. Well done!<\/p>\n
For those of us who are still working, let\u2019s take a moment to ring in 2015 with a rousing chorus of Auld Lang Syne\u2026 or perhaps a slightly augmented version thereof. Raise your virtual glasses, everyone \u2013 here\u2019s to a great year of enriching research, mental stimulation, and new friends!<\/p>\n
Auld Lang Syne<\/strong><\/p>\n Should old acquaintance be forgot CHORUS:<\/p>\n For days of long ago, my dear And surely you\u2019ll buy your pint cup!

\nand never brought to mind?
\nShould old acquaintance be forgot

\nfor days of long ago,
\nwe’ll take a cup of kindness yet,
\nfor days of long ago.<\/p>\n
\nand surely I\u2019ll buy mine!
\nAnd we’ll take a cup o\u2019 kindness yet
\nfor days of long ago.<\/p>\n
\nand picked the daisies fine;
\nBut we\u2019ve wandered many a weary foot,
\nsince days of long ago.<\/p>\n
\nfrom morning sun till dine;
\nBut seas between us broad have roared
\nsince days of long ago.<\/p>\n
\nAnd give me a hand o\u2019 thine!
\nAnd we\u2019ll take a right good-will draught
\nfor days of long ago.<\/p>\n
\nand never shall be mined?
\nShould old transcriptions come to naught
\nand pace of reading slow?<\/p>\n
\nyes, I\u2019ve a ways to go,
\nI’ll take a cup of coffee yet,
\nfor I\u2019ve a ways to go.<\/p>\n
\nand tell me I\u2019ll be fine!
\nBut keep that coffee coming, yes,
\nfor I\u2019ve a ways to go.<\/p>\n

\nI\u2019ve weary-wandered notes of foot,
\nOh, I\u2019ve a ways to go.<\/p>\n

\nBut Chapter Three is still quite flawed\u2026
\nYes, I\u2019ve a ways to go.<\/p>\n
\nAnd lend a hand of thine!
\nWe\u2019ll make it right in our next drafts,
\nand onward we shall go.<\/p>\n
\nyes, onward we shall go,
\nLet\u2019s wipe our furrowed brows of sweat
\nand show \u2019em what we know!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
