23/30 & 24/30 Grading Extravaganza

On Sunday and Monday I spent pretty much every moment I had grading research papers.  Outfit 23 is weekend grading casual and outfit 24 is more on the professartorial side of things since I taught and had a meeting that day, as well.

On Monday I was so busy that I actually asked M. to take my outfit photos while I was grading papers.  I apologize for the poor quality of the photo, but honestly this last week of of the term has been kicking my ass.  And it will only finally be over after an 8am meeting and some other obligations tomorrow morning.  I still have finals to give and to grade next week, but I must admit that I am already looking forward to the winter break and getting to see family and having some time to get some solid work done on an article.  What are you most looking forward to about winter break?  What do you have to accomplish before then?  Non-academic readers, I'm curious how you cope with balancing blogging with busy times at work.
