I’ve been a little more quiet around here than normal lately, so I thought I’d pop on and share a little bit “behind the scenes”.
It’s the end of the semester, and like I mentioned back in September, I’m a professor this semester on top of my normal full time job (and an additional “extra” job as well).
I have a lot to do.
I spent about 5-6 hours a day grading research papers over Thanksgiving break (I even graded Thanksgiving Day afternoon, stopping at 5 pm to enjoy the rest of the day with my family. I did run the Gobble Wobble and have a late breakfast with them as well, and my brothers hung around the kitchen most of the day as well so they could still spend time with me as I worked).
Grading at the kitchen table I did homework at growing up
I’ve tried to balance in the “busy” of life with the lifestyle I want as well. Earlier this week I was grading research papers while sitting on my bike getting my heart rate up. It felt like a good compromise in the middle of my week!
This past Saturday I woke up early and graded quizzes before heading out on a short run. I came back and planked, showered, and then sat next to Melissa talking and watching TV as I graded more research papers. We took a quick break for lunch and Starbucks, and then it was back for another afternoon of grading.
Teaching has been really fun, but I’m also ready for the upcoming break! So, as I wrap up a busy semester, I will pop in on my blog from time to time. In the meantime, I’m updating instagram, so you can find me on there!
One bonus : I was gifted a Snuggie! hahaha.
It really is SO convenient to be able to grade and be under a blanket at the same time 🙂 Judge me if you must…
Oh… grading. The never ending battle.
Absolutely 🙂 I know you can relate!
