Grading

Ugh.

Grading over the weekend is true dedication to teaching. 

Before I start, I pick the channel--either marathon or some hour-long program. Right now, I am watching Food Network. And then I start the torture.

Sometimes, the television fails to entertain me. Feeling fancy? I suggest perching yourself in a chic Starbucks. Time crunch? A boring desk in your room will work. 

I could always put it off, but I won't. I have this need to start fresh every week. So, Sunday night will find me with a stack of papers, a highlighter, and the television on.
