the teaching chronicles - the marking
The first week, I had no marking. I was sad, cos that meant I had nothing much to do during my breaks.
The second week, I had my first stack of Compres to mark! Rejoice! Marking's fun!
The third week (ie: this week), I now have PILES of stuff to mark. Compres and more compres, summaries, essays, proposals, and I want to die of sianness. I wish marking could be more straightforward -wrong means wrong, right means right.
I have spent the entire morning MARKING, and I just feel like a machine working on overdrive. I have dozed off twice already, tried staying awake once by eating my half-eaten breakfast, read blogs to keep the eyelids open.. AND I STILL WANT TO SLEEP. Worst part is that my one and only lesson begins at 12.15pm (SWEARS!!!).
... I slept at 10 last night. Someone please tell me WHY am I still so tired.
Friday is 2 days away.
