Our spring semester is in its last week (exams next week), so I'm stuck inside on this gorge-o-licious day (sunshine, upper 70s) grading final papers. I've got several more to do to stay on schedule. I was on a roll for a while, but I seem to have hit a bad spot where every one I open is...awful. So what am I doing? Checking out the TE forums, taking a breather before going back to the salt mines of poor arguments and lazy grammar.

I know I shouldn't complain too much. I love this job, and some days, like today, I get to work at home. Still, the students who just can't be bothered to do it well (and by this point in the semester, I know that's the issue) get me down sometimes, even though they're really in the minority.

Anybody else grading papers today?
