Teaching timeout

I've been very bad.

I've been catching up on literature, pursuing new research ideas, and working on syllabi for the spring.


This should be fantastic. Look at me, getting ahead!


I should be grading. I've got three sets of exams to mark and grades to compute.

Nanny911 puts kids in timeout for every minute of their age. I'm taking that parenting rule of thumb and multiplying it by the number of exams I have to grade. At this rate, I might not be done until after Boxing Day!
