- Got 13 more minutes to procrastinate until grading.
- A former student has VOLUNTEERED to grade papers for me, since she is grading another faculty's papers for money! I will take her up on it, even if it isn't totally legal. (Because I wanna get fired, y'know.)
- I think one of my most annoying students has a crush on me, because he gets all stupid and inarticulate whenever we talk. (Yes, I said he.)
- OTOH, so does the geeky female student who gave me Hello Kitty valentine cards the past two years, and is the one who met Mr. Sulu.
- Am meeting with the owner of my condo tomorrow, since he isn't using the company he uses anymore, partly because I don't want to commit to another 12 month contract. I wonder if I can bargain for CHEAPER rent?
- Thus, need to do some more housecleaning today.
- I am trying NOT to go to ToysRUs this week, since they have a Buy 2, get 1 free sale on Lego's and video games. I already built the $130 lego set this weekend while watching The Office on Netflix. I SHOULD now modify/build onto this, but I really do WANT the $60 X Wing fighter. And the $100+ lego sets!
- I have three honors students, writing 6+ page papers that I barely read.
- Grading wouldn't be such a chore if Blackboard wasn't so crummy.
- I need to get over the guilt of NOT reading what my students write, and just checking off if their assignment is complete or incomplete.
- Since teaching over 250 students amongst 4 classes and 3 preps is ridiculous.
- Did I say here that I finally got my contract last week, 3 months late, and an $8000 pay cut, since I don't have a guaranteed job over summer?
- And on that moral booster, 2pm and grading awaits.
