H.S.I.O.W. (Holy Sh!t, it's only Wednesday!)

[Thursday's_Child]

It's Wednesday, again
Exams next week, then T-Day
All week for grading

Then, on to whining,
requests for extra credit.
Need a time machine!

[EdnaMode]

Week and a half left
Then time for sleep and breathing
And some catching up

[evil_physics_witchcraft]

Dictator-in-Chief,
Wants to start a coup today-
Ready to rumble?

[evil_physics_witchcraft]

Too much shit going on,
Not enough time to grade labs.
When will I do this?

[OneMoreYear]

Eek! I'm so behind!
I swear I'll finish grading
Not much sleep tonight

Began the class with
Very best of intentions
But have planned too much

[mamselle]

A slow-trawling hawk
Flapping watchfully over
vole-enriched meadows.

[OneMoreYear]

So today it's been
10 hours of back to back
Virtual meetings

Now I can't get up
My butt is glued to the chair
Help, I think I'm stuck.

[evil_physics_witchcraft]

Ten hours is nuts.
I sympathize for lost time.
It's time for a break.

[mamselle]

Will you please slow down?
Turkish Rondo is not meant
to wobble and fall!

[evil_physics_witchcraft]

I thought yesterday,
was Wednesday and not Tuesday.
Time has lost meaning.

[evil_physics_witchcraft]

Time for Sudoku.
My brain doesn't want to think
About student grades.

[OneMoreYear]

Finishing grading
Tomorrow's a holiday
Turn off work email.

Then just two more weeks
'Till the semester's over
We've almost made it.

[OneMoreYear]

Six meetings today
Seven hours virtual
Butt glued to the chair

[EdnaMode]

Student told me to
F*** off during Zoom lecture
Removed him from class

Other students, shocked
I carried on with lecture
It's always something

[downer]

I have some papers and exams still to come, but the bulk of my work for this semester is now done.
I do need to reply to a couple of student emails. I prefer to do that after the grades are submitted.
But it is only Dec 9 and I can start thinking about other things. That feels good.
