a little coffee

Good lord! It takes a freaking long time to compile 430 student’s grades. Sifting through papers, tallying numbers from my flawed grading system. Despite the benefits of being able to do whatever I want in class (hell, I could probably skip a month and no one would say anything) I wish the university would have given us criteria or suggestions for what they expect of their students. Like “by the end of your sophomore year, you English majors should be able to dot dot dot.” Standards, anyone? As I’ve mentioned before, the whole exam process is a huge joke. Why bother? Especially since Oral English is treated more like an optional club than a required course. Next year I should just avoid this tedium. No exams and everyone passes!

I hand them in on Thursday, then I’m free! I’m free!

Poor Chris, though. He hasn’t been feeling well and he has all these flimsy Doodle papers to go through.
