Another lap completed

I didn't manage to do the end-of-the-year meme "between years" because I was grading papers instead, and then I was on vacation, so I'm doing it a week late. The new year is so young that it's still fair game, I think. As usual, this is probably going to be full of moping and melancholy! Ye have been warned!

( Cut for length as usual. )

Well! This may actually have been the most... positive... of these memes that I've ever done! Uh-oh. Now I'm a bit worried. It won't last, will it?
