End of the Semester

People have been asking where my end-of-the-semester dots are. Perhaps I was too busy to figure it out. Perhaps I was in denial. I thought I was actually on top of things. Generally, it's okay, I think.

In the queue (such a nicer word than backlog, no?)

• 14 4-page proposals to an environmental problem
• 19 10-page research papers on environmental issues
• 8 5-paragraph essays on making a memory quilt
• 10 4-page proposals to a community problem
• 7 unit quizzes
• 1 student with mono who is missing 2 papers and may take an incomplete
• 2 missing papers from a repeat student who is making me nuts
• 1 annotated bibliography from a student athlete who is simply a mess

Incoming:

• 17 final exams for Eng 190
• 12 final exams for Eng 101

Grades aren't due until 5/15, and I only have one over-night gig planned between now and then.

I think there's plenty of room for knitting in there. Last night, I turned the heel on LB's second sock and this morning got past the gussets.
