Gradedown! Post 1

After the exam today, MOR gave us a grades-in deadline of the 22nd. I'll be posting here for the next few days to motivate myself to keep going -- it's not that I imagine you care; it's that I need something to do with my life other than grading and packing.

I managed to get all the IDs done this afternoon, so here's what I have left to grade:

• One alterna-essay
• 52 hebdomadals
• 9 peer reviews
• 66 exam essays

I don't want to work out the averages here, but I'm thinking that 10 hebdomadals a day should be manageable, although that will be on top of... what? 18 exam essays a day? Don't get me wrong: I am completely in love with this job; there's something about grading, though, that's somewhat overwhelming.
