End of Term Blues


I am in St. Catharines mired in marking term papers today.  Most of them are not very good.  Some of them are so bad as to make me despair for the human condition.  And I have to explain in detail in the margins exactly why I have to assign a failing grade.  Marking lousy papers is the worst part of this professor gig.  Anyway fortunately it is only a very small part of the job.
