Last week of the semester

And then we are done! At least until January 3rd when the new semester starts again! (I have never understood why the semester starts so early in Canada, students can have finals until December 23 and then we ask them to be back in class on the 3... It's terrible, at least another week should be given so all of us we can have a real break!)

I have graded over 75 tests and projects over the weekend. And from next week it's time to grade the finals! Good Lord, please help me with this because it's the last thing I want to do on earth! I can't think about grading 140 finals..... The only thing that keeps me going is that we will spend Christmas in Europe. We are leaving in three weeks and I am super excited! It has been five years I did not spend the holidays at home and this time Husband gets to come with me, so we will have ten days in Europe together! I just can't wait!!!!

Today I still have to finalize some excel sheets with grades so they will be almost done before the finals begin. And write one final exam for the extra class I am teaching.

Now I am off to walk Mr. Doggie, the weather today is much nicer as the first snow arrived on Saturday. Oh... winter? Really? It has been such a gorgeous autumn that I did forget about the snow part. Now I can't anymore...
