Grading

There is no possible way all of these papers are going to be graded by 10 in the morning on Thursday.  Since I've been sick, I've been playing catch-up with my own work, and I still am.  Therefore, these papers are not...really going to get looked at until tomorrow night, most likely.  So long as I am finished with my assignment for Thursday, I mean.  I should warn the head TA about this, and she is most likely going to get angry with me, but...I don't know.  If I wasn't practically incapacitated on Sunday and yesterday, I would have been able to get more of my work done for the week, and so, would've been able to get started on these papers earlier.

But since I still have the majority of a book to read, and then another part of a stats homework to do for Thursday...yeah.  Maybe I can get at least half done and say that it is a work in progress and that I'll have the rest of them done as soon as possible.

A friend is visiting me on Friday; I need to go pick her up at her school and drive her back here.  It should be a lot of fun, and I'm really excited to see her, but I hope she doesn't mind if I take an hour or two or something to do work while she is here.  Bad hosting, I know, but I really have so much to do and not nearly enough time to do it all.  I know I should have maybe postponed, but I've been postponing so much on her and I really want to see her, so I might just ask if we could do some work at some point.  Or if I can do work and she play video games for a little.  Not for very long!  I want to take her to the movies and out to bars and stuff, but I really might need to take some time to do work as well.  I just hope she's okay with that.  If not, then I'll just go into work-recluse mode on Sunday after I bring her back and everything.  And I hope to get a lot of stuff done tomorrow, Thursday, and Friday throughout the day.  So...maybe it won't be so bad, work-wise.  I am super pumped she's visiting, though.

I am going out with that guy from the bar Thursday afternoon, too.  Since he has something to do later on that night, it won't turn into an hours-long affair, like our last meeting.  Which I am both pleased with - from a work standpoint - and bummed about - from a 'I want to hang out with this awesome person' standpoint.


I know I said this on my fb, but my lower-case alphas always end up looking like Jesus fish.  And I feel like the more I try to make them look not like that, the more fishy they end up looking.
