the great downhill

Except for a couple school-sanctioned makeup classes, I will be done teaching all my classes this coming week. This coming week, then, will be devoted to reviewing for the final exam, and after that, it's up to the students to remember everything they've been taught. They've got a major listening test coming up at the beginning of December, followed by my final exam, which they'll be doing in groups the week after the listening test. So after this week, it's the mop-up: for my Wednesday and Thursday classes, we've got two makeup days, then it's all downhill: the kids take the listening test and the final, I grade everything, then punch in the grades... and it's two months of gloriously paid vacation for this fat boy. I won't know what to do with myself. But I'm sure I'll figure something out.

  1. Lucky bugger. I've got classes/exams, not to mention grading of our graduation exams, through the third week of December. This week in particular is going to be insane.

  2. Well, we started the semester earlier than most colleges, so I suppose we're finishing earlier. My understanding is that we'll start teaching again in late February instead of in early March.

  4. Thanks. I think I am insane enough to handle it.
