fact: i have 54 free response questions and 54 two page essays to grade.
how is it possible that i sat in the same room for 4 hours proctoring the extended time PSAT and didn't grade a single paper? what did i DO?
oh yeah. i'm an amazing procrastinator. well, i did reply to a lot (read: 43) of work-related emails that i needed to respond to. but i also entertained myself with:
1. smashing magazine's free desktop wallpapers (50 to choose from each month! got myself a fancy new one from their october update).
2. dooce.com, confessions of a young married couple, www.mattlogelin.com, texts from last night, cake wrecks, and this fish needs a bicycle. in other words, my daily dosage of blogs. (are you wasting time in this way? you should be.)
3. last week's newsweek (if you haven't read the article that henry kissinger wrote about the conflict in afghanistan, you NEED to)
4. netflix got the movie i shipped back. have they shipped a new one out yet? no? what about now? no? now?
and then, magically, it was noon! the kids got to go home early and it was time to go out to lunch with my work friends; for those of you who are teachers, you know how much of a luxury going out to lunch is. we went to la fonda for their salsa (2nd best in atlanta, i think - taqueria del sol would be my favorite) and their adult beverages. others are enamored of their paella, but i love the veggie burrito - roasted squash, onions, broccoli, and zucchini with fresh tomatoes, lettuce, and cheese and the best creamy ranch/tomato-y sauce. YUM.
hoping you all have equally effective ways of procrastinating! now i actually have to do my work...
