I'll Say She Is!

grading, evaluating, responding to, and, occasionally, failing
sands emma holding her head

I have been grading papers for the past day and a half. Whew! Now I'm over the worst of the grading process. One dear knucklehead thought that three paragraphs would suffice when the assignment called for 6 - 8 pages. *le sigh* Their final project will be easy to slap a grade on, and they only have a few journal entries to complete before the end of the semester.

Which means now I have two papers to write. Don't be surprised if there's radio silence on my end of things for a little while, until I'm feeling not so overwhelmed.

We have, officially for me, 3 class days left. Then a finals week. I have to write a 15 page paper by the Friday of that week. Have I started? No. Have I procrastinated and done other things? You betcha.
I have five days of teaching left, but the last three of those will be their presentations. And today I'm going to make them watch "Clerks". Let's give a big round of applause for procrastination!
:CLAP CLAP: Your comment wasn't that lame but I do wish I were somewhere as idyllic as my background. 5 days and counting until Thanksgiving holiday. Ooh, I sounded so very European just then.
Oi, are you going on holiday for the Thanksgiving holiday? What, what?
I am indeed leaving this place and heading home (for the holiday). So it is like a mini vacation.
