I was telling my mum that I was very busy over the weekend because of ODI homework and grading. It was an innocent comment and she immediately jumped on the grading part to tell me again that I should not have taken the TA position. Sigh. What can I do about it now? And it's not like I'm regretting taking it up. It's definitely a lot of work on my part, but no regrets as of now. I hope she doesn't bring that up again because it makes me feel rather irritated. And I hope that she doesn't do that next time regarding my job decision or whatever.
Anyway, I had thought that this week was going to be a slightly relaxing week, but evidently not. The week started off with 6 hours straight of classes (no breaks in between) and I had to rush to finish grading and run over for experiment after that. It really felt like I was always rushing all the time and was really relieved when I finally managed to come home haha. I had thought that I could start a few of my homeworks early, but didn't have time to. And grading is taking up a much longer time than expected. It is really hard to decide the breakdown of marks and I feel quite bad deducting points off little mistakes even though I thought it was necessary to do so.
On the agenda this week: Grading by tomorrow, 1 homework due Wednesday, ceremonial speech and internship panel on Thursday, ODI group meeting, catch-up on work due next Monday, a big decision to be made and grove city on Saturday! Looking forward to end of the week..I can finally go shopping again! =)
