Who’d have thought marking was such energetic mental exercise?! I might have a Postgraduate Certificate in Learning and Teaching in the Performing Arts – I might even have some experience in doing these activities – but I haven’t usually had to do marking. And now I’m almost all done – just one paper to go, this week, and that has got ‘Tomorrow’ written all over it. My brain has had enough for today.
Back soon.
Apologies! This has turned out to be quite a week.
I’ve twice woken far too early, notwithstanding leaving the house at 6.45 am to go to Edinburgh. It was still far too early even for that.
I bought a car. I’ve spent hours marking essays (not a normal activity for a former academic librarian-turned-research fellow). I’ve attended live and online seminars, and I’ve continued in my archival explorations. It’s only Thursday night, and I’m knackered.
I’ll be back as soon as the marking is completed!
