What? No work? Right...

This weekend I have graded research notes, blog posts from 1101H, discussion questions from 1101H, and the last of the process essays from 0050. Left to grade: classification AND comparison essays from both 1101 sections, 15 or so fiction analysis essays from 1102, and a smattering of late work from all courses (mostly revisions I asked for--when will I learn?)

I read about 50 pages of Bryson's In a Sunburned Country and re-read the end of Alastair McLeod's No Great Mischief (only because I couldn't remember if I had finished it when I was reading it about a month or two ago. The answer: I don't think I did! But I don't know where I left off either, so I've put it aside to re-read after Bryson. I do know that it was a good read and I want to finish it).

My daughter was whisked away by the grandparents this Thursday, so I've taken advantage of the freedom to take in a movie (Elizabeth: the Golden Age. Ho-hum), to complete some fall projects (pack away the patio chairs, clean up flowerbeds, etc), and to listen to some loud music
(98.7 has been on for 4 hours--this is rare in our house now-a-days (I hate that phrase. Why do I use it?)

Now, however, I must return to those essays and get some content created for my 1102 online class.
