grading day.

6:30am

the second alarm goes off. i groan and stumble out of bed and due to sleepiness, it takes me twice as long to brush my teeth.

7:45am

i make it to the exam room, ready to proctor. we begin late, as always.

10:15am

deliberations begin on grading rubrics, and then actual grading. by happy fortune, someone has brought a communal supply of coffee, as well as a batch of donuts and pastries.

4:30pm

the grading is finished, and we enter exam scores on the computer. we'll worry about the curve another day.

5:30pm

alcohol and darts ensue @ ABC. my dart throwing is idiot savant; in one turn i hit the bullseye, another turn i miss the dartboard.

between a long day and alcohol-diminished inhibition, i make wisecracks to the surprise of my company. apparently i'm not often humorous.

9:00pm

i tabulate tentative course grades; they will be finalised after tomorrow's office hours.

12:00 midnight

my body crashes from sheer exhaustion. (looking forward to it, actually.)
