i may not yet be a math teacher, but i'm checking papers. i'm doing a favor for sir nat, so right now i'm checking four assignments of roughly 120 students.

yes. four.

i'm supposed to email the scores of the exam tonight, but i'm not halfway done. but sir nat understands that. he knew i had a eee33 exam last sunday, and the math54 midterms just this afternoon. [besides, he's a eee grad, so he knows how eee33 (or whatever it counterpart was back then) is not-so-easy.]

the hard thing in checking math papers is, it's not as simple as checking a multiple choice exam. one thing's for sure - you have to read and understand the solution so you would be sure if he truly got the correct answer. [and sir nat won't give me an answer key so i need to solve the problems to find the correct answer.]

and now i understand why the first exam scores for eee33 have not yet been released. [or maybe they're just too lazy, or too busy, to check our papers at once.]

and being bitchy, i really wrote nasty comments on the papers that i checked. [luckily since they're not my students, they won't know me. :))] but i didn't comment on their handwriting. (less than five, out of a hundred and twenty, passed my standards) some of the solutions were just vague, as if their final answers jumped out of nowhere.

all my sundays of august (except august 31) aren't rest days.

next sunday, i'm going to mt. banahaw for a field trip for kas1.

that was a last-minute decision. actually, i didn't plan to join the field trip since i have a 6-day schedule, and sunday's my only rest day. i already passed a reaction paper that we were supposed to write if we won't join the field trip.

but since GEs with field trips are not common, and i don't (and can't) go to banahaw on a regular basis, and just for the sake of experiencing and learning something new, i decided to join the field trip.

and there's this cwts swimming on august 24. i didn't go to any of the two previous swimming classes for cwts (because i was sick on the first swimming class, and the second one's on just last sunday. although our swimming class was on morning and the eee33 exam was on the afternoon, i haven't studied much for eee33 back then so i had to cut that cwts.)

and even though we had swimming as pe one quarter every year in high school, i still don't know how to swim. (although i know how to float) so i think i'll flunk the practicals. or at least i'll get a low grade. haha.

and there's this MP.

i still haven't tried doing the MP (sorry isel :P) i forgot how to create makefiles, and i'm still thinking of a general plan on how to tackle the MP.

how great. less than three weeks to go before the deadline.

the next eee13 exam would be on the last saturday of august.

and, if i'm not mistaken, there's supposedly another eee33 exam this august. but chances are large this would be moved by a week or two. however, i have a bad feeling it would be on another sunday. happy me.

and, according to my prof, chances are high that our first kas1 long exam would fall on the saturday before the eee13 exam. ewww. [well at least his kas1 is objective, and i don't find it hard to memorize facts. luckily, dates don't appear in his exams.]

i also have another bad feeling that the next math54 exam and the next eee34 practical exam would fall on august. haaay.

oh well. i am sooo lucky. >.<

*****

i need a rest. or an intercourse (ckt07 bonding, for those who would take that word literally). or a good novel. or a good movie. or lots of food.

whatever. i need something to lower my stress level. gah. >.<

oops. i forgot. we have no classes on august 18 and 19 (and 25? not sure.) woot. at least i get to have rest days in august.
