I Hate Grading

I know, *everyone* hates grading. But it helps to verbalize the hatred sometimes or, in this case, put it in writing. It's no fun and it's all I've been doing this weekend. (Well, I did take a break to run errands and put spring-time bedding on my bed yesterday [wishful thinking that spring really is around the corner, despite freezing temps], but most of the weekend has been dedicated to grading). The end is in sight (6 4-5pp. papers from my majors left; 15 3-5pp. papers from my first-years) but it's not close enough. I'm giving it another hour and then it's time for a change of pace so I can return to it this evening. UGH.
