For those who don't know me, I can get stressed out easily.
I'm stressing. Since I've been sick all this week (but no fever today, just chest phlegm), I haven't been grading the finals as I should've. Now that I'm feeling better, though, I'm trying to catch up. The problem with having the flu during finals week is that there's a time limit on when grades are due. My final grades are due, as well as my 6-weeks grades, by noon tomorrow. I still have 20 finals left (which means 20 essays and 60 open-ended response questions). I wanted to be 100% done by tonight so that I could spend the entire day cleaning and organizing my classroom. Due to the damn virus, I'll be lucky if I get half the day tomorrow to organize and clean. ARGHH!!!!! I'm going to be staying late tomorrow night.
Things I want to get accomplished during my winter break...
1) Write lesson plans for at least 2 six-weeks in advance for each of my classes (complete with quizzes, project assignments and tests written... this will save me time in the long run).
2) Re-organize my bedroom/study.
3) Get a manicure and pedicure and other chick spa activities.
4) Finish "The Odyssey."
5) Re-read "Julius Caesar"
6) Re-read "Of Mice and Men." Hmm. "The Odyssey might not get done, since it's a lower priority.
7) Write at least 10 pages of my screenplay.
I want to do more, but I'll just focus on those so that I'll feel more accomplished once those are done.
One more day......
