I have finished grading all of my research papers! Yay! I only got four and a half hours sleep last night, which is a rarity for me. Very little comes between me and six to eight hours. Now I still have final revisions and portfolios to grade, but those'll be of the wholistic, no comment variety and won't take quite as long.
Tomorrow is a friend's birthday, so I'm baking a cake for him. I figured I may as well bake cookies for my students (unusually, I haven't made them anything yet) and my small group. I'm excited to be domestic, though slightly worried. There's no way I can make a box cake (he's far too particular, I'd feel trashy), but I haven't made a cake from scratch in ages. I'm worried it won't turn out well. How am I to know unless I taste it? I can't very well come to the party with a cake missing a slice, but I don't really want to make two. Sigh. I'm so happy that these are the problems I'm worrying about now.
Of course, the semester isn't over yet. I still have to write finals and figure out student grades, but I'll blink and we'll be in the midst of summer. (I mean where did April go?) I'm looking forward to getting to my reading list that I've comprised this semester from being in classes where people reference works that everybody has read (except me). And watching movies! I get twitchy looking at my Blockbuster queue and thinking about tearing through it. All I've had time for lately is the first season of The Office (rather droll), which is all of six half-hour episodes. I haven't even watched Buffy for a week! And that is something.
