Finals happened today. Most did well (on partially graded), the rest I will grade later today. I did love the woman coming in and with the blank look and the "when did you tell us we were having an exam??" comeback. Duh, it's finals week and I told you the first day of class that this would happen. And then there was the review session last week, and...

I think I have reached fullness with excuses. I will be willing to accept new ones next year but for now, no sympathy. Sometimes I hate smiling and being nice and just want yell at the _________ (fill in the blank).

I just wasted four hours on typing up meeting notes and dealing with fun stuff from school and ... and ... junk! All I wanted to do this afternoon is to grade. Maybe later? I hate bureaucracy and what do I do but choose to be a part of a totally disfunctional one. Maybe I'll be less grumpy later?
