Grade, grade, grade, grade
The end of the semester grading crunch is upon us!
I'm trying to catch up on the papers so that I have a clean slate for grading finals (both classes have their finals on Thursday).
I have been successful getting the easy stuff out of the way today - mainly everything in my Creativity class except for the group projects. I feel a small sense of accomplishment.
It is only small because I know the hard, torturous grading is still ahead of me. Specifically, I have to grade two Research Methods class homework assignments. With 45 students in the class this takes FOREVER and feels even longer. I also have a group project to grade in that class.
And I have to post the mp3 files for the lectures.
And I have to create the final exams for both classes.
And I have to write 7 letters of recommendation...at least seven. Three of which HAVE to be written and submitted by tomorrow.
We won;t even talk about the grading in the Animal Assisted Therapy class.
I know - wah. Suck it up. Don't be such a baby.
I do see the light at the end of the tunnel though.
