Not a crayon, but a brain

Your Brain is Purple

Of all the brain types, yours is the most idealistic. You tend to think wild, amazing thoughts. Your dreams and fantasies are intense. Your thoughts are creative, inventive, and without boundaries. You tend to spend a lot of time thinking of fictional people and places - or a very different life for yourself.

What Color Is Your Brain?

Now I really must take myself and my purple brain off to do some marking...

Now I really must take myself and my purple brain off to do some marking...

Something else we share. I have a dozen explorations of the concept of kingship in The Tempest to deal with tonight...

I have about 90 essays discussing the way a short story called "The Harness" illustrates the premise of Larkin's "This Be the Verse," 70 literature midterms, and about 25 essays discussing the concept of time as dealt with by V. Woolf and one other author. These were all waiting for me when I got back from Calgary and I was too tired last weekend and I've been so swamped with catching up with prep work all week that I'm only getting to them now...
aargh.

What a delightful mix.

Did I ever tell you that I've seen some of Larkin's original school reports? He wasn't at all the type of hearty rugger 'n cricket boy they approved of, and it shows, but he edited a bunch of school magazines we still have.

70 midterms? These are exams, I assume - how much is there to mark in each of those?

yes, the midterms are tests, just to see that they know the material up to this point. They're not too bad - 2/3 point form or one word answers, then some paragraphs; at least not essays. The Larkin essays were in-class, done as the second part of the midterm testing.

That's bearable, then. Most ofthe school exams I mark are longish - even the twelve-year-olds do over an hour of writing...
