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....

I think it sounds wonderful! Chopin, chocolate, and cookies. I like a little cabernet instead of coke, but otherwise, I'm right there with you.

I just downloaded some of his recordings based on your rec too. I love Chopin.

Chocolate , cookies and Chopin sound like a nice help through the marking process. Bon courage !

I love Chopin as well , especially The preludes. I didn't heard of Samson François though.You give me the need to have a look.
I'm listening to Vivaldi, The stabat Mater..

Now, if we ignore the tobacco and drugs, you could almost mistake me for Chopin's sister!

And, I insist that if you life a life of, ... chocolate and cookies, and.....coke... that you at least have the decency to whack on a hundred pounds in weight! Shame on you, Chani!
