Awash in grading

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.
