Grading



I was up late grading papers and doing paperwork.  I got a late start because I have had a headache this weekend.  The headache do seem to be coming once a week, and lasting about 48 hours, and not once a day and never really stopping, so I guess that is an improvement.  Anyway, tomorrow will be a busy day of grading more papers because I didn't get finished.  Honestly, the one thing I truly hate about teaching is the grading.  It either gets terribly monotonous, or I get frustrated with student's lack of ambition.  Yes, the students themselves can sometimes be a handful and dealing with them can be stressful but like all teachers, I live for those moments when you see the lightbulb appear above their heads when they understand something for the first time.

      Chris, I do have cluster headaches. I was only diagnosed with them a month ago, and my new medicines seem to help. The frequency is down greatly.
