I collected a very large research project/paper from my juniors the week before we left for Christmas break. I brought them home in grocery bags and put them in a corner of my bedroom to be addressed later.
They're still where I dumped them two weeks ago.
I feel guilty for not having started to grade them yet. I expect my students to spend hours researching and writing the thing and yet I can't bring myself to sit down and start reading them. I'm a horrible person.
It's my last big thing to grade before the end of the term--I just need to do it.
Plus, my students are expecting them back on Monday and I have to post progress report grades by 3:00 on Monday and those grades MUST reflect the grade they received on their paper.
I can't focus right now. I'm all about baby stuff and how we are NOT ready to do this in a month... or however long it is.
Oh no. No we are not.
Ryan says he's ready, but I don't think he knows what he's talking about.

Don't worry jen, I am the biggest procrastinator with grading, I hate it, really hate it. I can't do it.I'd rather clean my toilet than grade. I just tell them, don't ask me, i'll let you know when they are done. I tell them I'm not one of those nerdy teachers who spends hours a day grading, I have a life outside of this job.. they respect that..
