My life choices

Instead of grading, I spent the spare time of my last 3 days working on a "DW for tumblrites" thing. But that's done now! So we're back to the old list of to-dos.

Tonight I need to pack for the upcoming Connecticut trip. That means 5 days of food items for the babbu, and clothing, a LOT of clothing for the babbu. And whatever presents I can stuff into the carryon suitcase. My grading, possibly? (We're getting back on Friday, and then Saturday is Taiko and Sunday is my birthday and then Monday is a day without childcare and Tuesday is Taiko New Year's and Wednesday is another day without childcare and then School is starting again and I don't know what time I'll have to grade. I was hoping to do some during the trip but this trip is completely scary in how unplanned it is so I won't know how much time/energy I have for grading AAAAAH)

I wanna draw, dammit, not grade. BLEH. (so much stuff I should be drawing)

I have about ... 25 essays to grade? And 43 projects. The projects are easier, but I should really be grading the essays. I just don't know how to force myself to do it. I guess I was counting on the non-baby time in this upcoming week but there probably won't be any so I may just well be screwed. I think I can maaaaybe get 15 essays graded next weekend, between Saturday's 3 hours and Sunday's 4 hours. That leaves 10...
