I am done with teaching and grading and being miserable! LOL I was teaching two second session classes this semester to accommodate Feefers, and these classes compress 16 weeks of learning into 8. I have to give the same volume of assignments and reading and all that jazz as I would in a regular semester, just in far less time. One of the classes was online, and the other face-to-face class met daily Monday through Thursday. I was also teaching two full session online classes. For the online class, the big assignments were all due at the end of the class as in 24 hours before grades were due. Naturally, our online teaching platform broke the weekend before, and left everyone in a tizzy (most especially me!). I did not have to give any incompletes, but it was touch and go there for awhile. I did, however, make myself so anxious grading and worrying about everything, that I was sick to my stomach all Monday night. :(

But I have written on my Yuletide story all day, and I am almost finished with it! I love Yuletide. I always end up with the best prompts and have the most fun writing. I should finish tonight or tomorrow.

Now for a belated meme answer:

lyrstzha wants to know what fandoms I wish more people would follow me into. I wish more of you were into New Girl, The Mindy Project and NCIS but I'm not really in the fandom for any of those shows. Hmmmmm...... more of you should definitely be writing The Hobbit/LoTR fanfic. *nods decisively*

Yay, congrats on being finished! Oh, wow, those half-term courses are the hardest. And all the marking's the same in half the time, ughhh. Time to take a well-deserved break. :D

yay! Are you done now too?

The grading is brutal. Oh man. I don't ever want to teach two of these at the same time again.

Yep, all finished! Technically! Except for all the prep I already want to do for next semester, just to get a jump on things... I'm trying to give myself a break but it's challenging to break through all these Must Be Efficient And Productive defenses.
