Grading Jail

This week, I have written mid-term exams for my classes and attended faculty meetings and fulfilled departmental duties (that required more politicking than I care for). I have two more classes to teach this week and then to reward myself for this week, I'm locking myself into grading jail.

Why?

Because on my desk, there are two sets of homework assignments, two sets of essays, three sets of mid-term exams, and a batch of oral presentations to be graded.

So, if I don't go to grading jail, I fear that my "Leaning Tower of Grading" will topple over.
