Technically, I have finished three classes. But I've only posted grades for two of them. The other two aren't due until May 20th, which seems like an eternity from now. The major accomplishment was posting grades for my online class. That class demanded the most time and energy from me. For the past several days, I have been doing almost nothing in my spare time except grading writing assignments. Besides Friday night, when Denny stayed over and the three of us partied!
Last night I was up to midnight working. I only stopped when my eyes started crossing and the bottom of my neck and shoulders felt as taut as a tight rope. I also wanted to kill my students for their bad grammar and poor organization. That's never good. You can't grade papers when you feel like murder.
This morning I awoke at 6:30, when Bruce was leaving, to finish the last couple. I posted all my students' grades and went back to sleep for about 45 minutes, until Emmie got up. We then had a totally chillax day, playing in the backyard and lounging on the air mattress. When Bruce got home, we all ate dinner together. Then I took off for the only remaining class I'm still teaching.
Now, I have a glorious week until I have to go back. Happy Teacher's Day to me! Well, I have to grade papers before next week, but I'm a free agent for a couple days, at least. This is sweet, but especially so, since we are officially moving this weekend! Tomorrow we'll all go back to Bruce's parents' house for our last, final, concluding night as tenants there. Oh, thank you, Lord!
Then the movers are coming and the next thing you know, it'll be Mother's Day. I'm going to ignore the party poopers (more on that later) and focus on the good times. It's time to celebrate!
Happy Tuesday Tunes Day to us all!
