Grading Hell

[amilyn]

I would like to preface this by saying, for those of you who know me, that I have NOT been a moron and let things accummulate like mad. Ten days ago, I was ENTIRELY CAUGHT UP.

So...stats for the weekend thus far, and my projections for the week to come:

Friday:
8 solid hours of grading after leaving school
Completed:
25 freshman papers
25 AP in-class essays
1 Macbeth paper
22 extra credit papers
6 revisions of various papers
4 Reading Journal reflection papers
12 papers of feedback to someone or reflections on one's own writing

Sunday:
5 solid hours of grading
Completed:
20 freshman papers
22 revisions of various papers (Lear, satire, etc.)

Today:
0 solid hours grading...5 1/2 hours of unsteady grading so far
Completed:
9 freshman papers
~8 papers of f/b to someone or reflections on writing
~5 extra credit papers
1 holocaust final revision
4 7 Lear revisions
5 first-round Lear papers
5 satire revisions (electronic)
7 first-go satire papers
Still to do:
27 freshman papers (paper)
13 Plague papers

Being turned in tomorrow:
~42 more Plague papers
~5 more straggler papers

Other stuff to be turned in before the year is over:
whatever revisions students can crank out by next Friday/Monday

My grades must be in by June 4 before I leave for Louisville. I swear on stacks of holy texts that if ANYONE asks if they can do "just a little extra credit" or some such that I will LOSE it.

ETA: I'm moving things into the "done" from "still to do" and italicizing them as I go.
