Marking is like fighting. Papers are the evil adversaries that I hurt with my red pen until they are all bloody injured. The mark is the final coup de grâce ! I know it isn't pretty but someone has to do it.

Yes I'm done with one assignment, so I'm enjoying a tea time break. 

But there are still 27 papers left I have to finish today since tomorrow I give my students a last class test, a 2 hours essay, that I'll have to mark before Tuesday...

I think I've reached the Nineth Circle of Marking Hell. I can see Satan stuck in ice just below. Hopefully on Monday I'll escape by climbing the fur of Lucifer!

If  I get the marking done by, let's say, 9 pm, I'll reward myself with the finale of Lost which is downloading!

ETA: Updated deadline...10 pm might be more likely...I can do it, I can do it!

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.
