I’ve gotten my student assignments integrated with the VLE (moodle, in my case) and got my gradebook set up properly. The papers submitted online: I graded about twenty in a couple of hours. The ones that students handed in (hardcopy, in-class) took a little longer, but the weekend was not over and I was looking around saying “I have graded all the student papers! There are no more student papers to grade!”

I think I made about five of them for L*. She decided ultimately that she wanted us to make origami swans instead: they were about 2 steps easier than the cranes.
Okay, teaching yourself a new craft in order to make a complicated gift for a family member is an exercise in re-evaulating your goals. I started this at Christmas 2004, gave it to him January 2006. But he loved it!
