Vacation . . . Almost

Classes are over. Exams are over. I listened to over 300 oral exams (my English majors gave two speeches each). I have 6 out 7 classes' grades recorded. I'll finish the last one tomorrow and turn my grades in Monday morning. My eyes are almost permanently crossed from staring at thousands of little boxes on my grade forms. I love Microsoft Excel. I only had to use Whiteout tape twice on my grade forms . . . not a bad record for as many boxes as I have to fill in, especially when you're having to deal with names in Chinese. Grades this semester have been relatively painless. I'll still be glad to be done.

It is true that teachers love vacations as much or more than the students.
