We are wheels in the machine

That's what they just told us today, at the lunch. How nice. It was interesting to note that only the three of us from RJ had anything to say on the matter. And how they batted aside our queries in that typical educratic manner.

The term ends soon, but the work doesn't. Oh no. It just gets worse from now on.

  Wow

I have no idea how we're going to beat 83.7% next year (and 98% for Humanz).

And 8 Distinctions out of 9 supervisees isn't bad either.

  This Friday

I'm surprisingly calm about this Friday. The results are a fait accompli, I don't have a Civics class to return results to (next year will be very different), and I'm only responsible for half their History grade. Plus, I have other things to worry about, like marking. Maybe I'll be sleepless on Thursday night, but I doubt it, since Thursday is a long day.

I'll be happy if those who deserve an A get an A. That's a lot of people. Of course, many who don't deserve one will get one, and a few who do will not. That last bit is what will be really upsetting.

It would be nice if, in your happiness (or even your sadness), you say hello to your ex-tutors and thank them for their efforts. No need for flowers or champagne. Just a simple "Thank you" will do.
