I made the mistake today of calculating the number of pages of student work I need to grade and hand back by the end of the quarter: 1,160.
I enjoy my students, and often their ideas are really interesting, but this is the time of the quarter when this magnet on my fridge feels sadly realistic:

Sorry, Tracy! I wish you lots of strength with that. I got a taste of the grader lifestyle in undergrad, that’s for sure. Hope you have time to attend the ENVS Senior Celebration on Friday, 10 June at 10a, down at the CASFS Farm. (:
Darn, I’ll be in Davis for another graduation that day so I won’t be able to make it. Thanks for inviting me though!
