Light

Slowly but surely I can see the end of this pile of grading. I've been grading constantly for weeks now and that really sucks. Every time I get a little done, something else gets turned in. If I hadn't gotten behind, it wouldn't be so bad. The good news is, I'm almost caught up. If I can just knock out these two stacks today and tomorrow, I can actually have a grading free-weekend! Getting through this grading also means 1) I have a break from grading until the last day of class and 2) I can get my Monday writing day back. I've been thinking a lot about the pieces I need to work on, and I look forward to just diving in on Monday. I may actually spend the day in the (gasp) library. We'll see; the good news is that there is some light shining from behind this big pile of papers!!
