Just got the final paper from one of the students who is finishing off an incomplete. She wants it back with comments. Sigh. I was going to try to chip away at it while I'm here in the office, killing time before my evening date with Sara, but nope, no can do, brains not working sufficiently. I will take it home with me--not expecting to work on it over the weekend, you understand (I'm beginning to know myself better than that), but because I can work on it on the train to an appointment in Manhattan on Monday morning, and finish it up on the train back out this way. Since I bailed on the assessment project on Tuesday (bad girl!), I need to make up the time, so I'll go in for a while on Monday, as long as I have to be out and about anyway.
That will mean I will spend part of three days next week in OAPR (the Office of Assessment and Program Review)--bleagh--but if I can get the project finished up, or close to it, that would be great. We just got contracts today for a few more hours, so we can do what needs to be done without having to rush and get half-assed about it. I don't remember what I've said, but I had to do about three reports before I started to get the hang of the thing, so if I can, I want to go back and re-do the first two I did--this time actually understanding as well as attempting to use the guidelines.
I'm doing a fair amount of placement reading, too. My favorite blooper from today: "Parents who have children need to teach them about the problems of the internet." Obviously, parents who do not have children are in the clear.
And now I'm going to haul a recycling bucket into the office and start tossing out tons of paper from old and no longer useful files. Since I'll be using a different style guide in the fall, all those assignments, which I've been hanging on to, can get dumped. It will be interesting to see what else can go. The bookshelves will have to wait for another day before I can tackle organizing them: that will require something approaching mental acumen, which I am decidedly lacking at this particular juncture.
But let the tossing begin!
