Snuggling with Midterms

It's Valentine's Day, folks!  And in my neck of the woods that means one thing: snuggling up with . . . big stacks of grading!  I have one big pile from my Modern Europe survey, and M. has his own pile of midterms to deal with as well.  We keep a bag of chocolate and one of candy hearts in between us.  That way, whenever the marking starts to get us down, we can lift our spirits with more than enough sugar to take an entire class of 3rd graders over the edge....

Slightly Nutty Expression - Modern Europe Midterms

While I'm not much of one for a big to-do over what I consider to be largely a Hallmark Holiday, I do enjoy taking a special moment to appreciate my awesome partner and friends on February 14th.  What are your feelings on Valentine's Day?  Academics, do you win your students over with candy?  Whatever you're doing this Valentine's, we hope it's a good one!
