Thank God the week's over.

It's been a rough week. 10-page think trying to pull together a month of readings into some coherence, two classes with a combined reading list of about 200 pages on the same day as the paper is due, and 70 freshman history exams to grade.

Pulled an all-nighter and whipped out the 10-pager, skimmed over the readings as best I could, attended both classes but drifted in and out of sleep and kept very quiet in the second, and managed to defer handing in what's left of the exam pile to Tuesday. But considering the grades, the freshmen should thank me for not spoiling their weekend.

I came back from class today and collapsed for seven hours straight. I haven't even been keeping up with the news or watched TV all week. Although I took time out to gloat over Bush's falling polls post-Iraq. I'm a proto-historian. I can't help but grin at repeating history.

And now I'm watching the American version of "Coupling".

Will the suffering never end?

Allowed? Probably. But I'm really cutting them a lot of slack.
