The Train at the End of the Tunnel
One set of final projects (and tons of grading) out of the way. Another set about halfway finished. Two finals today, one I administer, one I just sit around and collect. A chunk of papers to grade. Final performances to watch. And one more final to give on Friday. (Though my teaching partner will grade that one.)
Somewhere in there I have to do life-related stuff like buy cat food, take in my dry cleaning and clean my office.
Whoosh. Maybe if I duck low enough, it'll pass right over the top of me...
**UPDATE** 11:58am
First final is out of the way. Assignments returned, grades disputed and somehow I now have twice as much to grade as I did at this time yesterday. I'm not sure how that works, but it seems wrong.
Anyway, back to it as I get assignments graded that I was supposed to have finished by 12:30. What with the chaos that was the exam period we just finished and the ridiculousness that was last night's "simple little bit of data entry" (that was my expectation, nobody else's), I don't think it's going to happen. Well, people can just sit and wait if they want their stuff back that badly.
**UPDATED UPDATE** 6:12pm
One set of final projects graded.
One set of final papers graded.
One set of insignificant yet necessary to grade papers discovered in a pile of things I thought I'd already graded. Rats.
One walk taken in the 20 degree weather to clear my head and get some lunch.
One VERY LARGE cinnamon roll consumed.
One tired Sally now performing penance for her earlier cinnamon roll by having pitas and hummus for dinner.
I may do some more grading. I may not.
I'll keep you posted.
