22 November 2024: After a long and packed week, I am so excited to have made it to Thanksgiving Break. Feels like a victory!
I don't think I have ever had as much grading over a break as I do right now: ENGL 204 essays (26 of them, each at least 5 pages, ENGL 301 Annotated Bibliographies (19 of these, each of them 15-20 pages), ENGL 307/507 Response Papers (22 of them, each at least 3 pages), and 23 GWST papers (each of them at least four pages). It's wild.
But I know that I've got this. It will be a pleasant week. And I am so grateful that I can get so much grading done during a week with no classes and that grading is the hardest part of teaching--and that is almost laughable when you think about the hardest parts of other folks' jobs. So, yeah: I'm embracing gratitude.
A little music for this post--the song that was playing at Sheetz while I waited for my order this evening. It's on my all-time favorites list and you know this silly, old, no-rhythm nerd was doing just the tiniest bit of foot-tapping/dancing in public.
