That’s pretty much what I feel like. I worked on grading way more than I do on a typical weekend and still I am swamped. I did get almost all my 7th grade essays done. I had 5 left and I just couldn’t keep going tonight. I am distracted and tired and I know I will be cranky tomorrow if I’m up too late. I don’t want to start Thanksgiving week off that way.

Now that I am writing (and therefore thinking) about it, I actually think I did pretty well. I probably put in 12 hours over the weekend all together. I read 50 essays carefully and gave feedback. I planned three classes for this week. I got some late work graded too, so that helped me feel updated. The pile is shrinking. I’m going to make it.

Still, I wish I could have done those last five. It would have been pretty momentous.
