Essays to grade that is. I've finished 80 and have only 36 left to read and grade. Oh, yeah, I also have journals, exams, and projects to grade.
Yeah . . . finals are over, so that means my work has only increased. :)
But, I can taste freedom--it is just around the corner. Summer break is a-l-m-o-s-t here!
Hi! Jia You!! You can do it! Horray!
(Although I miss teaching, I don't miss the stacks and stacks of papers to grade. The only good part is when it's DONE!)
And bad news... there is no longer any surface international mail. waa waa. All must go airmail. Even the Media bag rates went WAY up-- almost the same as air. So sad.

whoa! that's a lot of grading! no wonder my friend who just came back to the States from teaching English in China for one year said she's glad her classes were all Oral English courses but still there were some paper work for her to do, of course, but not like your load of grading!
You can do it! keep on keeping on and have fun this summer!!! =)
