Yesterday, I ran errands in the morning. Got a car wash, got a haircut (trim), got groceries, got coffee grounds (Eric prefers Tim Horton’s coffee)…all before lunch! After lunch, I did a lot less, though. I did finish the laundry (but not the ironing) and graded some paragraphs for Basic English. After dinner, we went out “looking” (which, I was told, is different than “shopping” which involves buying) for gifts for his family, which we (“he”) ended up ordering online when we got home. Then off to bed!
I’m off to CU for the day. I have to give a final from 10:30-12:30, and I expect it will take most of that time (for them, not me!). I hope to get some more grading done…boy wouldn’t it be great if I actually finished ALL my grading before exams were over…I think it would!
Maybe you should have a rule that they aren’t allowed to ask questions during the test to spare yourself from any distractions!
I think that sounds fabulous! I hope you got it all done during the test!!
Did you really get coffee grounds? Isn’t that what it’s called after it’s used? Or is that what it is before, too?
The nice part of this test is that I can grade for Composition while giving a grammar test. And grammar tests aren’t terribly hard to grade…they either fixed the sentence or they didn’t!
That was always my favorite part of giving a big test: built in work time for me while they slaved away on a test. Unfortunately a test means more grading in the long run, so I don’t know if they’re so great after all!
No, just curious what Shan’s getting her. Erik’s family didn’t give us many choice/ideas, so I was wondering what sounded good for Shan’s Eric’s Mom.
^ Karen, do you have to buy for Eric’s mom, too? ^
Have fun grading!
Glad you got your “shopping” done. That’s what I get to do today. Question….what you get Eric’s Mom?
