To help keep me motivated throughout grading my class's final papers and exams this week, I made a playlist of songs on my MP3 player that I, in a burst of creativity, named "Music to Grade By." After grading for a while, I glanced at the titles of the tracks that I had chosen. Apparently my subconscious mind has pretty low expectations about the quality of my students' work because the song titles sadly described some of the papers I was reading:
- Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
- House of Cards
- Take Me Down
- Nothingman
- Off He Goes
- blues
- Ne strelayte (trans. = Don't Shoot)
- Bezkonyechnost' (trans. = Without End)

I remember taking exams and wishing I was the one giving them so I could watch all of their faces as I handed it to them! I know it's evil!!! But I never realized that it isn't the funnest thing to grade them. Good luck. Music always helps!
