Little over half done grading!
See, I promised that I'd have all the papers done on final day. Tomorrow's final day. Because of all the PhD app grief, I didn't really get a chance to look at any of them in detail until today. Bad bad Overread. I figured I'd be spending the night here in the office tonight (we've got a nice couch-ish thing in the conference room if I needed to nap for an hour or two). It's not so bad, because tomorrow all I have to do is proctor the exam at 8am (who scheduled that?), and then at noon I could collect the papers and go home to sleep.
Funny thing is that I think if I can keep this pace, I might be able to finish in enough time to go home and shower, brush teeth (I really should keep a toothbrush in the office), and get a few hours of sleep before the test.
It's a dream, and it prolly won't happen, but everybody's got to have a dream, right?
Good luck with the grading--I'm grading tonight too, and I know it's later here than it is where you are, so really, you're doing good. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, did that sound stalkery? Now that I live on the Other Coast I assume everyone is earlier than I am. Well, plus I'm a stalker.
ReplyDeletehehe - stalk away, now I know you're on the other coast! That's the evil coast, you know.
ReplyDeleteWhich reminds me, three papers ago I was treated to a description of the 'mid-evil' world.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised any more, but I am...
The "mid-evil" world--isn't that around Kansas?
ReplyDeleteAnd you say "stalk away" now, but how will you feel when I'm in your town in 3 weeks and knocking on your door to find out where the next quiz is? :)
(ok, I don't know where your door is.)
3 weeks?
ReplyDeleteSANTA?!!
DAMN IT!
ReplyDeleteI screw that up every year!
I want a slot at a really good PhD department. And funding. And a kindly and well-connected mentor. And tenure.
ReplyDeleteAnd a pony.
LOVE IT!
