Mid-Winter Laziness?
Okay. Here's my first real blog - ever. Monumental moment? I think not. Anyhoo, I'm blogging now to avoid doing actual work. Primarily to avoid grading AP papers. (Okay, yes, that last sentence was technically a sentence fragment and as a HS English teacher I should know better - but...it's a...stylistic thing...yah, that's it...a stylistic thing.) Okay tangent over. So I find no motivation whatsoever for grading old AP papers. I really don't care what most of my HS kids think about Macbeth - because honestly there are probably a half a dozen who will actually write something new and/or interesting. Maybe I'll be proven wrong, but history has not been very propitious. *Sigh* However the longer I put it off, the longer it will take.
Why the hell should I have to spend all my evenings grading papers? Do other professionals spend all their evenings doing office work? I think not. How many doctors do you see giving check-ups on the golf course? Lawyers get paid for every hour they work - where's my overtime for all the after and before school meetings? All the weekends spent in grading and checking-up on students? Ha.
Okay this blog turned into a rant fast. Damn...that felt good though :) Ah blog therapy. Okay time to do some actual work. Or...write another blog catching people up on what has been going on in my life. :)

Sadly, I have to point out the fact that it is not yet "mid-winter". In fact, winter hasn't even officially started yet :(
actually... I've seen my dad do medical work over the cell phone on the golf-course. And during a movie, and in the car, and shopping. And get up at 2 in the morning to deliver babies. Sorry to break it to ya, but it's not all that bad Mrs. Arch.
We love you anyways. *smile*
Since taking College Writing, I at least try to add elements to my papers that will make my teacher's day.
