And the Thunder Rolls...

As I type this, I am NOT grading plagiaristic research papers, but am trying to catch up on my quiz/test grading.

This is what I have to do between tomorrow afternoon and Sunday evening:

1) Make 3 final exams - one for each of my preps. The 11th grade final will be difficult to make. Hopefully most of my kids will be exempt from it.
2)Make 3 final exam review guides - one for each of my preps.
3) Finish grading the 25 research papers that I have left.
4) Catch up on my test/quiz grades for the week.

I have my work cut out for me. Each one of those takes at least 2-3 hours to do (the research paper will take longer). Argh. The end of the school year is usually the most hectic.

So I'm trying to stop feeling guilty. Work keeps me VERY busy, the Rodeo kept me busy, the running kept me busy (when I did run), I'm in the process of switching schools and moving. What I have time left for I try to use some of it on myself: working out, reading, relaxing, etc. because I don't always like to have people around me. And let's not forget to mention my dreams of being a writer. In the past 10 months, I have picked up my writing twice. Twice!

Hopefully I'll be able to relax a bit during the summer. After summer school I'll have about 5-6 weeks to myself. I plan on making little (if any) plans. I might even summer hibernate (except for my birthday, of course... it'll be my last birthday in my 20s).

Time to go back to work. Yuck. But at least Grey's Anatomy comes on soon.
