ok... i'm done screwing around...

Today is the last day. One more train ride of fucking around and doing nothing and I'm DONE. It has reached that critical point where one more day of procrastinating will get me fired. If I don't start grading some crap now, there is no way I'm gonna get through it all before the final, and I want the students to have MOST of their stuff back before the exam. And I have deadlines with regard to equipment to order and letters of recommendation to write that need to be done NOW if they are going to get done at all.

So.

I am making some deals with myself. No TV tonite until I finish this recommendation letter. Then I will grade Astronomy papers tomorrow morning. Once finished, I may allow myself a trip to B&N or Target to do some Xmas shopping. Saturday night I will handle departmental administrative tasks and answer nagging backlogged emails. Then Monday I will grade Physics and Astronomy homeworks, and a make-up Midterm exam.

By Tuesday I will be giddy with accomplishment. You wait and see.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to enjoy my final two hours of fuckoffery.
