Day 5 - 108 -- Completion

Woke to further grading today, though knew it would be the last day. I went out for an afternoon meeting and to provide a break for a colleague invigilating an evening final exam. It was still damp and cool with amazing puffy rain clouds of varying shades of blue-grey in the afternoon and a bit cool in the evening. I did find the air refreshing, though, after being cooped up for several days dealing with the self-replicating piles of exam papers. While the paper grading is over, the next steps involved convoluted equations to calculate the final course grades. Tedious, but it will be new tedium <smile>.

At 2:07 PM the final flourish of the red pen occurred. It is done. At that moment, a song from a movie began -- on for the background noise to shut out the sounds of the world while I focus on grading. The song is from the beginning of a movie that I love -- a remake (1979) of an older movie (1954) that was a remake of an even older movie (1937) with yet another remake on the way (2018) <smile> -- the circle of life. Only the 1979 version focused on musical careers. I'd recommend viewing all three 'old' versions and know I will watch the new version when it is available. The basic story is sound and somewhat timeless, which must be why it is continually being reinvented. Enjoy!
