I got here a little early so I could put my head back on. It hasn’t worked well. I really don’t want to be here. Kids start arriving in my room in about 15 minutes.

I didn’t grade anything over the vacation. I did no prep work. I refuse to feel bad. 🙂 I have a pile about 8″ thick of grading to do and somewhere between 120 and 150 essays being turned in on Friday. These were written in class so they are very likely to actually turn this one in.

For the next 2-3 weeks my whole life is going to be my job. Vacation was great. I’m trying to convince myself that I actually like my job right now… The semester ends in 17 days. I have 22 days to turn in my grades. I wonder if I can have all the grading done in 15 days so that all I have to do at the end is add in the final? That would rock and allow me a 3 day weekend in January. Hmmmm. It would be nice.

I’m babbling to try and convince myself I can do this.
