My university is not the problem.  It is _my_ work ethic that makes this
a no-go.  I happen to enjoy working with students.  I don't feel like it
is a reasonable thing to disappear for two weeks on a whim, after they
have paid good money.  Not that Jaap would be able to convince anybody over
here about anything anyway.  Several here know about the grundge in graz
already.  :)
