caught up!

I am at this moment totally caught up with grading. Everything is marked and posted on Blackboard. It will be 35 hours before I get more papers to grade. This is a wonderful moment. (I am carefully ignoring the fact that some students have already turned their papers in early.) Of course there is still much to do. I have two letters of recommendation to write, and then there is always research. But it's so nice to catch my breath.
