I’m not sure what the weather was like today, even though I was sitting next to an open window. I know that it was cloudy in the morning and stayed reasonably cool the rest of the day. That’s all I know, though, because I didn’t bother looking outside.

For reasons no one fully understands–except possibly bad karma–I’ve got 11 days to mark 55 exams but only five days to mark 160 and on one of those days I’ll be working. This means I spent the entire day today plodding through exams with a random TV show on in the background.

After much plodding, a couple naps and too much sugar, I’ve got the work load to the final push phase. One set of exams is finished and the scores figured while two more sets are waiting to be finished. All that’s left are the long writing sections, one set of which will be easy whilst the other set is going to be annoying.

Unfortunately, it appears every student wrote something–fortunate for them, unfortunate for me as that means I have to actually read something before assigning a mark.

Well, at least I’m supposed to. We’ll see what happens when time starts running short.
