What's that, you say?
Is it the average grade of my spring semester students?
Sadly, no. That number falls somewhere around 63%.
But I am 75% done grading rewrites and calculating grades. Forgive me if I don't jump up and down and act all excited, but I am just too tired. I am going to the gym tonight and then I will deal with students all day tomorrow and then Friday will arrive and I will curl up into a little tiny ball and start rocking.
Oh and don't even get me started about the number of students who tried to turn in late papers yesterday. Eight. And so I had to so no, eight times, to people who would wish me to believe that because I like them more than everyone else, naturally I would make an exception.
Naturally, I did not because it is not in my nature to announce (in writing) a No Late Papers Ever policy - and then not enforce it.
I am not fun anymore, I know. But if you hang around long enough, maybe I will be again. Someday. Maybe even 75% fun.

I have faith... I'm hanging around.
You're almost done...
You'll be back! :)
I might have been (might be) a procrastinator, but it would have killed me to turn a paper in late. These kids today...
Hehe. When my Bride has her stack o'papers she spends what seems like hours figuring out how many she has to grade per day to get through them.
That truly sucks. I'd have utterly lost my mind.
75% fun?
Damn good average, especially if you count the time you're asleep.
If we could all be so lucky.
75% of Nina is like 110% of a lot of other bloggers.
PS - is it wicked of me to think of XXX dragging down the average, and then giggle?
Well I have my paper on my body somewhere and if you find it, you can have it.
