grading grading grading


7:20 am
                Not like I really have any time to write. What I really should be doing is grading lab reports. I did absolutely NONE yesterday. Instead I zoomed off to work early, on the 7:30 bus, so I could run in the gym before I had to be at work at 9:30 for Administrative Professionals Day. We always have cake and flowers and given that it is my office mate that arranges everything and picks it all up and lays it all out, I really have to be there. Then somehow the 2 hours between lecture and lab just disappeared in a puff of smoke and I didn’t manage to grade at all. When I got home at 5:30 G had made her decision – Warren Wilson – wooooooohoooooooo! So I was feeling really relieved and decided I wanted to get ice cream at Flavors to celebrate, and we might as well go to the grocery store at the same time. And once at the store, since we went to Whole Foods, I decided I might as well get salmon for supper, so when we got home at 6:30 I had to cook that. And by the time all that was done, and bunnies fed and all the rest, I was pooped. So no grading then, either. I did read some of Uncle Tom’s Cabin for bookclub.
                So, today. Lab is at 1:15 (except that this year has been the worst ever for people showing up late……..). If I want to go to the gym, I’ll need to get there by 11:45, meaning I take the 11 bus. But I want to bring bunnies. Should I bring the bigger ones today? If so, can I really take them in the bus? They are pretty big. I could stick them in a cardboard box. Or I could bring little ones again. Maybe I should drive on Friday and bring the big ones then. But I kind of wanted to give these little guys a rest today. So maybe I really should drive today. I could leave the cage in the car while I run, then bring them in. meaning I will have to leave here around 11:30. And before that I was thinking of baking some cookies. But that is stupid. Maybe I’ll just make simple brownies. Why do I feel compelled to do that???? Are not bunnies enough? After all I really don’t have time to bake if I want to get some good grading done. Ok, I think I will just bring buns and spend as much time as I can before I must leave on grading. It is 7:30 now. I still must do bunnies and eat breakfast. That gives me a good solid 3 hours. And in between I can get some laundry done which is at a pretty crucial stage. I could start in on grading the barley assignment, but I think I will keep cruising on lab reports instead and save barley for the weekend.
                Oh blah blah blah. What good thing will happen today? Well, doing chicks is actually quite fun. And it is fun to see all the students with bunnies. Other than that……..
