Grading

Grading finals again today. So far, all is going well. It is quite hard not to adore my students, especially when they are really making an effort. Usually I grade to the soothing sounds of Sibelius, but yesterday I graded listening to Big Freedia all afternoon, and I suspect grade inflation may have resulted along with more grinning than is usual for a grading marathon. Hoping I have some time to work on one of my fall syllabi as well today, because the beginning of term is coming on fast. No rest for the wicked.
