Someone Has a Sense of Humor
I've got papers to finish grading this weekend and I knew that if I stayed in my apartment, I'd end up spending all of my time on the couch trying to grade while watching some Jane Austen adaptation (I'm in a "Welcome Spring with Austen" spiral). So I got up, showered and dressed, and came down to the local coffee shop to grade papers. I've got my coffee, had a lovely sausage biscuit for breakfast and 2 hours later I've graded exactly 2 papers.
In the morning prayer today there was a petition about doing for others in our daily work (I don't have it with me, or I'd give you the real petition, which was much more eloquent that that statement). I kept thinking of it in terms of my students: how the attention I would pay to their papers today would be a gift to them. LOL--I think God's got something else in mind today!
I'm going to soldier on and keep grading, but hopefully I'm done with interruptions for a little while. I love small town life, but sometimes the city's cloak of anonymity is appealing.
