Grade All The Things

[amilyn]

This weekend, between Saturday morning and now, I recorded 183 hmwk assignments (no grading, just records), and graded 533 papers (varying length & complexity, most requiring comments of some sort). Just...dude

533? Good gravy!

Written in the spirit of Bart at the blackboard? :-) But you did do all that, and successfully! Congratulations.

Well...semi-successful. I was terribly behind and have been spoken to about it. But it's DONE and now I can just move forward and keep up. YAY!

What made it worse is that for most of the Victorian novel essays, the kids ALSO did feedback for one another AND a reflection on their decisions and choices in the writing process. I TOTALLY believe in that assignment, and I KNOW that it helps them write better (and helps me to have more polished stuff to grade) but the reading of 3 assignments for each kid PER assignment...that sucks.

It always gets around to this time of year and I think, "I don't know how Amy doesn't go insane with everything on."

Working out one's limits is a good thing. And I love you.

(And your PM this morning on Yahoo? It was specific, but I'm not really ready to talk about it.)

[amilyn]

The limits thing is SUCH a good feeling. But, yeah, I DO go insane this time of EVERY year.

I don't remember what I PMed you. Weird. And I checked my log and couldn't find it. But you can talk when you're ready. *hugs*

OMG, hon! *bows down* That is hardcore!

[amilyn]

Would be less hardcore if I a) stayed caught up, b) didn't assign so much, and c) weren't so behind and SO overwhelmed.

But it's DONE! Now I just have a few more things till the end of the year on June 15.

*hugs* You are amazing. :)

Also a terrible procrastinator.

But now I'm in the home stretch for real.

We will be reminding you of this post.

I'm glad you've gotten through your grading.

I suspect that MANY people will bookmark this to shove in my face. My Aunt Mary Angela told me I should print it out and put it on my forehead and the backs of both hands.
