traditions...

dear friends,

i am a super ta (here we're called preceptors). since i am returning to canada in the coming days, i need to grade my 25 final exams in a bit of a hurry. first, i know i should not complain...because for three precept sections i have a total of 25 exams (at mcgill it would have been like 80 exams for two sections). they came in at 5pm last night and i am hoping to have them done by 3pm today. that is less than 24 hours.

so, i decided to pick up a bottle of big house red on my way home and make an evening of it. long story short, we (and i don't mean 'we' as in we at truthfully,truthfully... i had help) drank the bottle and i marked nadda... and yet (here is where the tradition comes in) i managed to spill a drop of red wine on the top paper. another semester, another stained paper. although, it will never top dave dropping a paper in the mcgill parking lot and having a car run over it, such that he had to return it with tire marks.

and now i am blogging instead of grading.

yours in the spirit of professionalism,
cam

ps- after i am done grading, there is a trip planned to the princeton record exchange. i plan to purchase beruit.
