It's Me....ha ha ha
Back again! :) Thus begins the summaries of Shellie Beeman. Life post-Wisconsin. We'll see how long this happy go lucky attitude stays put. But it is here for now.
I guess I am not quite post-Wisconsin......although it is about a 87-13 perspective. As I sit here, currently in Wisconsin, listening to the little bird chirping away outside......I take a moment.....reflect on my day.......
Started last night actually.......yesterday really.....so let's call it a week-thing....Gave two exams.....came home and graded....took a break to do some gaming with friends. Oh yeah...pretty sure I set an all-time record....the only all-time record I will ever have.....I actually won! :) Fair and square......came back....graded til, oh, 1:00.....got up and graded this morning....went to the office, met with a student....graded some more.....went to lunch. I NEVER skip lunch....or dinner for that matter....or breakfast.....anyway.....gave a lesson....graded some more.....met with a student......cleaned up the office and came home........and here I sit.....guess the rest of the story will come later.....
You know I am actually one of those weirdos who enjoys grading. I hate giving grades....but I like grading.......I LOVE grading papers.....mostly because I feel like I am actually writing them with all my OCD comments that I mark the pages up with. I can't help it. I see it as cheering the student on to do better......
This really is fun to me...... AH......life....teaching....knowledge! :) What more could you ask for.......That question will remain unanswered for the present time....
Such was a normal day in the life of Shellie Beeman..........
