So I have caved in to peer pressure and created a blog about my daily life! Now what to say, hmmm. Yesterday while Russ was off riding the roads I stayed home and graded papers, I have about 150 tests and essays to grade by Tuesday. What's the rush you say? Well Wednesday is the last day to drop classes and I have a feeling some of my students may want to reconsider their college careers when they get their tests back. The scores were higher on these tests compared to the first one but even with being able to use their notes some people still failed. I may not grade the essay papers yet, they are awful! You know how I feel about grammar, word choice and sentence structure, well let's just say that the papers are PAINFUL to read. Plus if I try to correct all the errors Camden will be in kindergarten before I finish! ACK!
We did have fun this weekend hanging out with friends. Russ was great at the faculty party, a real social butterfly! People kept coming up to me all night saying "I met Russ and now I want to meet you". I'm sure that next week people on campus will stop me to tell me they met Russ! He was wonderful, I wanted to chicken out and not go to the party but he convinced me to give it a try and we had so much fun! I danced! Well in my own "special"way, sorry there's no video, go ahead I know you're laughing!!! Still if I ever get a full time faculty position I'll have Russ to thank! Actually everyone at the party was really nice and I did feel super comfortable, obviously since I got out on the dance floor, lol!
Today I'm going to play mah jong with my friends. I don't really feel like going but I'm sure it'll be fun. I really suck at the game and I hate feeling like the "dumb kid", but I guess I'll take one for the team!
Well there you have it, my first blog. I do love reading your blogs and hearing about what you're doing. I miss you both! Love you
Haha, I had a feel that you would choose the "book" background too. Isn't it neat? It works well for us since we're both in college....just on different teams :P
ReplyDeleteThat really sucks that you have to grade all those papers. I can only imagine how hard it is to read some of them. Fortunately I don't have to take English here at SPU but that doesn't stop a few paper assignments rolling through. At least I don't have to do peer reviews anymore, I remember those and it was hard enough just reading two poorly written papers, I can only imagine a 120 ewwww.
Miss you too and glad to see that you "caved" haha! *hugs* Love you!
I remember when mom used to try and teach me Mahjong when she was big into playing it on the computer. She was really good at it, but I never quite grasped the concept, so don't feel bad.
ReplyDeleteGood Job hon!!! Hope your having fun today so you can get back to those papers tonight. I'll do the cooking and the cleaning. Yep, I'm the man behind the woman here in Augusta!!! I've got her on the fast track!!
