Today was filled with many hours -- like almost all waking hours -- in close contact with a red pen and a box full of paper. Exam grading can bring such challenges. Concentration, objectiveness, alertness -- each brings its own unique difficulties throughout the process. Grading brings myriad emotions but when the groove is found, it can be trance-like. Again, this is when errors can occur, so trying to remain alert is paramount. While wanting the whole thing to just be finished, there is a major need to remain objective. Subjectivity is not your friend in this instance.
A song I often here as I decorate the pages with red marks is shared here today. It is by a great singer and poet. Enjoy!
The Red Strokes -- Garth Brooks
