The grading pile now holds 31 essays with 40 more essays and exams coming in tomorrow, so naturally I'm sitting here clearing out my inbox, knocking items off my to-do list, and revising an article that isn't even due until the end of November. This burst of productivity feels good until I glance at that grading pile, and then I feel as if I'm busy sharpening pencils while the Titanic sinks.
Ah well, the grading isn't going anywhere--and at least I won't be carrying any unsharpened pencils as I sink to my watery grave.
