Procrastination at its worst...

The grading I have to do before next Tuesday at noon:
  • late labs from one student in upper level class (ULC)
  • midterm corrections for ULC (I let them correct their mistakes for half credit and still haven't gone through all of them)
  • final papers for ULC (got these last Friday- I read drafts, so I usually skim the final ones)
  • take-home final exams for ULC (these are due tomorrow afternoon)
  • last lab for ULC (these were due last Friday and lose 10% per week day late, but I am not accepting them after tomorrow)
  • figure out points and any adjustments to grades for freshmen class (TA is doing all the exam grading and calculations)

What I'm doing instead:
  • watching political news on MSNBC
  • playing Scrabulous
  • reading blogs
  • pretending that I don't have the grading above 
  • sulking around the house, eating unhealthy food (and not really even enjoying it)
I wonder how likely it is that I can get everything done before the weekend. Of course, H will be in grading jail until Tuesday at 11:59AM, knowing him...

Oh dear. You don't want to be wasting your time on network news. I think one actually walks away knowing less.
