Just a note to all you would-be teachers out there...grading essays sucks. Like seriously sucks. It's the worst part of my job. On a related note, drinking while grading doesn't make the papers any better, which also sucks. You'd think since being drunk makes people more attractive, it would do the same for essays, but no dice.

Today I've gone through all of the five stages of grading. Resignation is a bad place to be on a Sunday night. If you're a teacher and you haven't read this article, please do so immediately.

12 more to go and I'm done with senior essays...then I move on to 90 junior essays tomorrow. It's a vicious circle.
