There are still essays here, kicking my butt!!!!<BR/><BR/>bittersweet girl --- I wish I could dissociate from the process and just look down to see the comments have appeared! <BR/><BR/>This may be TMI, but I usually follow the rule of three-and-pee: after three papers, I am allowed to stand up and take some sort of short break.

It's like highway hypnosis -- I get so bleary, lost, confused, I look down and there are all of my comments on a paper and I can't remember even writing them. And, I've tried the moving locations many times -- even within my own house: from the couch to the kitchen table to my desk back to the couch, etc. in an effort to make it all bearable.<BR/><BR/>It's not.The Bittersweet Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06040547633603087878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7366909960546184927.post-84128106194118018112009-02-17T12:05:00.000-08:002009-02-17T12:05:00.000-08:00Perhaps you've embraced tag-team wrestling, and we...Perhaps you've embraced tag-team wrestling, and were hoping that someone would tap you out?kfluffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09067013188119828400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7366909960546184927.post-81385652833718308862009-02-15T13:36:00.000-08:002009-02-15T13:36:00.000-08:00Apparently, writing can make you similarly weird, ...Apparently, writing can make you similarly weird, since I found myself holding up my own (splinted) left arm for an entire paragraph.
