Hot damn! We're almost there. As of today, I have:
- 3 class meetings left for my two surveys
- 1 class meeting left for my comp class
- About 60 total pages to read for my classes
- 12 lit papers still to grade
- 14 final paper conferences to hold
- 14 writing portfolios to grade
- 1 final exam to write (in two different versions)
- 2 exams to administer, on two different days
- 60 final exams to grade
- 74 course grades to calculate
- 5 more days of commuting this calendar year
The only
problem with this otherwise rosy scenario is that all of this end-of-semester madness/gladness starts to get entangled with the job market: next week I'm schlepping to INRU for a mock MLA interview, and starting about that same time I'll be freaking out daily based upon who has called/not called for interviews. Said freaking out will continue through Christmas. Happy holidays, folks!
