Everybody's gotta learn sometime

Update on my personal hell of my own creation:

I have graded 26 papers this weekend. I need to grade 18 more before Tuesday, and then I have 19 more to grade after that. With each paper I grade, the pounding in my head grows louder. Pulse. Pulse. Pulse.

The one saving grace of this weekend was the fact that it was cold and rainy. I appreciated the synchronicity of the doom and gloom of my exterior environment matching my interior environment. Though it made me want to curl under the covers and watch a movie.

I'm sure by now that you can tell I am a procrastinator - a big, lazy, procrastinator.

I vow today that I will spend the five days of my break grading a little each day.

All I have to do is get through tomorrow and Tuesday, and then I have five days off for Fall Break. (I guess that is one of the perks of working for a university!)

I am seriously considering outsourcing my grading though.

That would be hilarious if you outsourced grading:)
