In Marking Hell

[chani]

I keep eating chocolate and cookies, and drinking coke...

But as usual, Chopin helps me to go through the papers. I don't know why but for me it's the best music to mark on. I tried Holst's  The Planets earlier but it was less efficient. And when it's Samson François who plays Chopin, Marking Hell tastes a bit like heaven.

He looked like a poet and played piano like a poet, and of course his life ended too soon due to a reckless spendthrift lifestyle and a surfeit of alcohol, tobacco and drugs..

I think I'll go on with The Preludes when the beautiful 4th Ballade is finished.

*joins you in marking Hell*

I also have Inspection hell that I'm in as well (can you be in two Hells??). The Inspectors arrive next week, and every 5 minutes there is another email from someone asking for advice, telling me to read something or produce something. This evening I have to teach until 9.30, then come home to mark 64 papers for one unit, 14 for another, and produce 5 programs of work for the 5 units I teach that fit into the new layout they have decided is the 'house' style....all by tomorrow !!!!!

I don't think I shall be asleep early tonight so I may have to eat chocolate too!! Coke sounds good though....

Well in Divine Comedy there are 9 circles of Hell...of course it's funnel-shaped, but I'm sure we could imagine several Hells with intersections like sets in Mathematics !

Good luck for the Inspection and for tonight. Methinks you need to chew coca actually!

I know exactly what I'd LIKE to have right now, and that's chocolate covered expresso coffee beans, but that might mean I will not sleep all night! LOL!
