255 students on my caseload (they're just the ones officially on my caseload - there are at least five more I know are booked in who haven't yet made it to the database, plus all the ones I see who are officially someone else's students but for whom I actually provide the support...)
Just plain old run down really. the shift to longer terms in the spring these last two academic years are also a killer: previously the Uni has usually broken up around mid-March (e.g. today or at most NEXT Friday equivalent). Dragging our sorry exhausted asses for an extra two weeks of intensive appointments just takes it out of you. Although we don't shut for vacations, there is a least a BIT of a slow-down, plus we can take a week off (at most we can do two odd days in term time) so it's just another long haul after the long haul of the autumn term.
