I can't find one of my student's final essays! I've looked everywhere and it's nowhere to be found. I'm sure it will turn up soon--it has to--but right now I feel so bad.
"If worse comes to worst I'll have to-"
"I don't want to hear it! Do whatever you're going to do!" my roommate cut me off.
Now I feel super bad. Am I a terrible teacher?
I e-mailed my student and told him to e-mail me his essay again (in case I can't find it by tomorrow.) I hope he checks his e-mail.
Can I be fired for this?
No. I'll find it. I always do. Not that this has happened before. I meant that things always turn out okay in the end. Oh, gosh.
Did I mention I hate grading?
Why am I doing this?
And is this going to be the quarter I get straight Bs?

I always almost-lose essays. This would not have been a tragedy, just a blip on the radar. Fear not.
ReplyDeleteOne time, DBS lost my midterm. And you know you can't email that one in.
