And in Other News...
I really should be grading.
(Yeah, Sal, tell us something we haven't heard already.)
Well, I really should be. But I spent several hours today teaching, running errands and putting together lesson plans. I don't want to do any more fucking grading. Despite the fact that I have some very interesting looking assignments in my backpack. Assignments that will probably take no more than an hour to grade.
I really need to give myself some time to just rest. I mean, it's been a rough few weeks. And I've got a lot of other stuff coming up and I really only have a few weeks left of school this semester. And I can hear the grading calling quietly to me.
Even though I got very, very depressed grading exams because I feel like tests only set most students up to fail and don't teach them useful skills and the scores on these exams made that clear. I know these assignments will mostly be insightful and interesting. And there's not a huge number of them. And they're all art, no papers.
Nope. I'm not doing it. I have to read a play and have some dinner. I'm going to resist the siren call of the grading and do...
What?
Okay. Maybe after I eat.
