Day 2 - 323 -- Running out of Time

The weekend plans involve trying to get caught up on grading and some household chores.  Several other things took attention away from the grading, which is generally the main focus at end of term, so I am far behind with large and small grading projects.

I've sometimes felt that it was all about procrastination. The combination of shifting priorities and extreme fatigue cannot be discounted in the lack of daily attention to these tasks.  I've been reflecting on the lack of consistent progress and have been puzzled as to why I'm not getting the job done. Self blame is often the first choice to explain difficulties, while omitting the added responsibilities that take significant time and effort to complete and fill the time generally allotted to another task. Note to self -- don't be so hard on your self. <smile>

The song today reflects the point we are at with the term, and hence the short time available to return graded assignments prior to the beginning of exams. This is a whole two weeks at present. The song is full on  '80s style -- Enjoy!
