Exams Day 5 (The last day)

First I want to talk about the highlights of last night. I decided I had earned a breather, so I made myself pancakes for dinner. Actually, banana pancakes. Delicious. I've concluded that things like measuring cups are pretty overrated. While cooking them, I read the new issue of The Economist. It was a pretty nice evening. Too bad it didn't shrink my stack of exams. I came to those a bit later in the evening (I also had to spray those wasps again).

Today was another hectic day. A few teachers came late, so I had to start exams for them. :(. Exams finished in the afternoon and aside from my overwhelming exhaustion (I couldn't even feign coherence for my students) the day was mostly uneventful. I am helping the teachers with the calculations associated with their final grades (a.k.a. showing them how to use Excel), which has put me further behind in my grading. That's partially my own fault, though, since I am primarily avoiding the agriculture papers. Also, the lab hasn't been cleaned yet since the big session on Tuesday. I should make sure that happens soon.

The other big deal was that we had to say good-bye to our two student teachers. That was sad, because they were both really nice teachers. They definitely livened up the staff room, and set a good example for some of the veteran teachers. The students were very excited because we had a special lunch for the send-off (lamb pilau, which is pilaf Kenya-style, but with fewer spices and no vegetables), but they were also sad to see them go.

Now, I'm looking forward to an intimate weekend with my large stack of exams.
