    Can we also talk to you here?

    Good job! Keep going! Almost there! Remember to take little breaks. Those students are counting on you!

    I'm almost halfway done now
    I just read the most hilariously bad paper, we laughed for 5 minutes
    I wish I could share some of it with you but that would be wrong
    rest assured, it was so funny

    my butt hurts
    my brain is addled
    I am forgetting how to spell basic words

    BUT, I have gotten my time down to 9 minutes per paper, a major improvement over the 15 I began with

    I checked with college eggnog central command. They said it would be ok to let us see a couple of the best sentences.

    You can do it!

    When you are all finished I'll let you read my grade-school essay on Bach, as a treat!
  • YoursTrulyYoursTruly
    I bet you say some pretty smart things! Like about how his name isn't pronounced "John." I think I put that in a grade-school essay one time. IMPORTANT INFORMATION

    not finished.
    Finished 3 sets of papers
    Finished 2 sets of midterms
    1 set of midterms to go
    taking a break to plan my class tomorrow and write their assignment for wednesday

    I sincerely can not do this, when the papers get longer. I don't know what i am going to do

    I am going crazy

    all-day sweatpants and my back isfucking killing me

    "complaining about your job"

    Wait... you went from apocalypse to finished in about an hour...?!

    Maybe you should keep that observation handy for the next time an apocalypse looms.

    But mainly, Congratulations DrYT!

    yes, the last chunk went quickly, not sure why. Actually I do know why, it's because I graded my first class last, and there's 5 fewer people in that one than in the others.

    Spent an ENTIRE 4 day weekend grading. Then spent last night lying down talking about how terrible I feel about myself and my life. "And that's the story of long fall weekend"
