Term broke up last Friday... now the marking has started! 160+ courseworks to mark. I have the first year's work at home and have done 40 out of 110 so far. Aaargh. mad Some days you're quick... some days you're slow. Today was slow. I have done 10. Most of the ones today were terrible, luckily the last one I marked was the best so far, so a slight glimmer of hope! The worse they are, the more feedback you have to give...

I'm taking 25 up North with me for Christmas. :rolleyes:

Just venting! Its pain, but not as we know it... LOL

I'm away for a few days from tomorrow, so have a great Christmas everyone. See you soon!

Charlie,

If you don't mark our papers, how will we learn anything? wink Seriously, good teachers are hard to come by. Thanks for the dedication and hard work.

Don't forget to save some time for your music. I'm looking forward to your next album in 2006 not 2007. Too long to wait.

Cya and have a great Christmas

Have a safe and happy trip Charlie.

Enjoy your family and friends. Lay around your Mom's house and eat cookies and chocolates.



As you slide down the bannister of life...May the splinters never point the wrong way.

Merry Christmas Charlie!

Please take care of yourself and have a wonderful time. BTW, my very first job, when I was about 14, was helping a teacher grade papers. She taught 3rd grade, so I guess she assumed I could figure out the work! smile

Please tell me you will do a Christmas album. I LOVE Christmas music, and just can't buy enough! laugh

Was I the only one that saw the subject and thought it applied to a dog lifting it's leg? Sometimes marking on paper is a good thing instead of doing it on the corner of a wall or the furniture. Just my opinion though!

Interrestingly, I had no conclusion on what you were talking about...or what subject you could possible be refering to...thought it was some secret society game or...Oh, you're a teacher.

VERY SORRY FOR THE SLOPPY WRITING...rude of me. I usually recieved a C+ because of spelling, saved by my subject matter witch was more important than the class...nuclear dissarmament.

Just above average...that's good enough.
A+ for Charlie, thanks for replying to the email.

Like trying to decipher what Cricket is all about. BBC world service is on, it's my other hobby in the middle of the night...and when they talk about cricket i have no idea how to play.

Know i'd like your album though, cause of the wah and your pain. I play mostly pentatonic minor with a delay pedal. Led Zeppeling was the primary influence on my whole life.

Buenas noches, Beunas dias, Erik
