Students are really lucky. I don't think they realize how lucky they are sometimes. Their teachers not only have to create practical and theoretical finals, but they also have to proctor and grade them. Due to my current status with the Academy, I didn't actually have to create finals, just proctor several and grade more than I want to think about. But I finished and I'm still sober and mostly sane. And really, really tired... It's encouraging to grade good tests, but when I get to bad ones, or ones where people pass by the narrowest of margins, I really have to remind myself that tests can only measure so much.
I haven't had a full night's sleep in what feels like a very long time. I think if I tire myself out enough I won't dream. The drawback is of course, if I'm too tired I might put myself in hospital again and Shizune-san would be justifiably angry... I don't like to get her angry. So I'll try to go to sleep at a sane hour tonight.
