While I’m doing some intensive grading and calculating grades for about 250 people, I am going to press the brakes and not blog for about a week. I don’t need the break from blogging, but I need to focus on grading right now. And, don’t get me started about the slate of meetings. I do look forward to resuming some serious, thoughtful posts about the term and different topics. One topic for the year end is ambition. Why is ambition frowned upon by some?! I need to think about this more. I also want to speak to blogging assignments in my Gender and International Relations course. It worked well, but what can I do to make it better?

Until then, I am busy with my purple pen. I’m trying to write constructive comments on students’ papers and then play nice with Excel.
