ahhhhhhh ....

done. done. and done.

i just taught my last class of the semester, hallelujah.

as for the grading of the zillions of items just completed or re-written within the last week:
not done. not close. and jesus i just want to sleep.

poor students, they still have finals for a week. my class itself doesn't have a final, so i get to have a whole week of grading and doing final grades, and also grading, and emails (damn the emails!), and then some more grading. but at least no classes to teach, thank christ.

i'd like to say something beautiful and moving here about how teaching this semester has been ... but i'm too tired right now. maybe another day. i will say how lucky i am to have the best job in the world ... i love it, and i love my students so much. how many people feel that way about their jobs? not many, i know. i didn't love my last job in marketing by any stretch of the imagination.

anyhoo, i'm going to celebrate now by enjoying a (hopefully) peaceful nap with the dogs upstairs in bed. maybe just a couple sudoku ...
