Days begin early and end late. But grades are due, too.
The prize is that it will soon end...not that I get summer's off, but at least I don't have to deal with the assessment bugaboo of grading and scoring and offering feedback. CWP-Fairfield's summer work is just as invigorating (if not more), but there's a shared understanding that everyone will achieve and do awesome without the need to measure, justify, explain, and report. We just learn and celebrate it professionally.
Literally, at 7 p.m. last night when I submitted my last grade, my ambitious self with plans of cleaning, putting away laundry, and grocery shopping, ended up yawning. The exhaustion from the entire semester just overtook me and I thought, uh-oh, I won't make it until 8.
I did, however, talking with my mom and then Chitunga. Another wave came over me and I got some energy back.
I think that it's the grading part of teaching that is what exhausts us most. We work all day, but the scoring has to occur during off hours, because it's impossible to get done with there are so many demands during the day. That is why we all love summers so much! At least we get the evenings and weekends off....finally. Yes, most work just as hard, but we don't have to offer so many of our evening ours and Saturdays and Sundays with the assessing monster.
So, I'm crawling into Monday relieved I got it all done another year. I am also in panic for all the work that has had to be put off to complete the end of the semester traditions.
There are big and fun items on the horizon and I can't wait. But, to get these accomplished, I can't be distracted by scoring scoring scoring.
That's my Monday whine. I'm good now.
