Instant karma

having promised myself that i wouldn't do any blogging until i'd marked 20 assignments i naturally enough tried to write another blog entry after i'd finished about 4. fortunately for me my instant karma kicked in and my home internet access refused to play ball. so basically i've been off line for three days. i'd like to say i spent this time in full on academic mode, but although i've been a pretty good person and HAVE marked heaps and heaps and heaps of things, i've also spent a goodly amount of time doing stuff that is just plain fun. making play dough. watching play school concerts. and playing endless games of thomas the tank engine with the chubbies (3 year old twins). so it feels like a weekend was had and now i can imagine facing even more assignments. and in case there are any s tudents reading this, i promise that i actually DO love marking assignments and i DO enjoy them (yes really) but because it is such an important job it takes a long time and needs to be carefully paced. With lots of breaks for cups of tea, chocolate biscuits and games of Bear Hunt. and the occasional blog entry.
