Day 3 - 275 -- Tired and Cranky

Woke up earlier than expected with loud music from the house down the street. This was soon followed by other houses and parties. Seems Homecoming is a time for current students to party. By afternoon most head to the football game, so things can seem calmer. When I went into the back yard a bit ago, I could hear the parties happening all around me -- none too loud, but there are oodles of people out there. The weather is warmer than it has been so a lot of big outside groups can be heard.

Perhaps I'm grumpy since I need to sleep to get rid of the infection that settled in yesterday. Meds make me very tired, too.  I may also be a bit out of sorts since this weekend has tons of grading -- three separate short assignments from two classes -- 90 students in all. I'm never ready to do this task, but it just seems too early in the term. I do know that it is well underway, but it still feels too early. Concentrating was tricky with the tiredness. I did fall asleep a couple of times when trying to do other tasks -- at least I was sitting for those <grin>.

I heard a few lines from a song I enjoy as I was trying to do the less than exciting tasks today. It came from my visit to the MD yesterday, I suspect. <smile>  enjoy!
