Graaaaaading season is upon me, and lo I am crushed. Each one of my classes turned in big assignments last week, and I just finished all the grading and then...look! More big assignments! meresy pointed me to this cartoon, which perfectly captures the wonder of the whole graaaaaaading experience. Of course, it was my fault for assigning the projects so ( Read more... )

Sorry to hear about grading purgatory. Hope we'll get you back soon. I'm pecking away at the edge of my third story, and coughing a lot in a miserable way. That's about it. *glomps you in a nice, virtual, non-germy way*

Hooray for more writing! This news makes me very happy indeed. And now I have 'net access, so life is automatically 100% better :-)

hehe, that comic is great.
Grading stuff is one thing I'm not looking forward to when I finally manage to become a teacher.
Hope you get it done quickly!

Ugh, yes, the grading is a pretty big downside. However, I'm sure you'll be a much smarter teacher than I and actually think about overlap when you're making up due dates for various classes' assignments. I think doing what I did would constitute an act of sabotage.

Hi, you!

*hisses at grading--sorry, graaaaaading (I'm not good at this paper work thing. It's something I know about theoretically, but I took pains to go for a career that didn't feature much of it)--on your behalf*

Hello you! *glomps* And yes, the graaaaading deserves many, many hisses. Boo!

actually, i posted a 10-things-that-make-me-happy. maybe they would work for you, too?

nos4a2no9 February 23 2008, 16:56:48 UTC

I MISS YOU too, Z! I just sent you a long (and long-overdue) email to illustrate this fact. And I liked your 10 things of happiness list! \o/

Booo! Hisss! Grading! /o\

I've had my eye on Breakfast with Scot ever since I read about at TIFF. Thanks for the heads-up on the dvd date. I'll be ordering as soon as it becomes available.

I think you'll like it a lot, Scrig! It was really entertaining (unlike certain other TIFF offerings) and very, very funny (unlike certain other, "Oh god this is so depressing!" TIFF films that were otherwise excellent).
