I was sick all last week. It started last Sunday. Sunday is usually School Paperwork Day for me. I didn’t get anything done. Then the rest of the week, I left school as quickly as I could to get home and sleep.
All the sleeping worked. I did not get bronchitis or whatever illness I’ve gotten the last two years. I suppose it’s still early in the school year, so it could still happen, but maybe I’ve figured out how to keep it from happening: lots of sleep.
My backlog of paperwork is humongous! I will be working all day today. I even brought some home yesterday and worked on it. I didn’t get much done. Traditionally, working at home doesn’t work very well for me. I tried sitting in the dining room facing the wall. It only sort of worked.
Horizontal surfaces get covered with stuff at my house.
I can’t work at home, either. I hope you get caught up quickly!
Yay for sleep and for not getting sick!
Boo for grading papers. There should be an app for that.
That looks like teacher prison. Solitary confinement. 🙁
I am happy for your health, but bummed for your backlog of paperwork. Keep on keepin’ on! (That sounds so trite, doesn’t it?) Let’s try again: Blow it off and give everyone a B+!
Glad you seem to be over this health issue – too blessed early in the year to be laid low, I say.
If you need to, you have my blessing to use the staircase method of speedy paper assessment. You know: drop the stack from the top of a stairwell – those that land on the highest step get the “A” and so forth. Just don’t admit you did it that way. Should work. Most kids crumple returned papers when they get them back before they actually read comments you’ve poured your heart out over (who, me, bitter?) – they’ll never notice there aren’t any comments this time. Scatter the random “Bright idea!” or “Good!” around and you should be golden. (Never reveal your source, though, or I may have to send Guido around…)
