I have been dragging myself to mark my English paper since this afternoon. Not that I don't want to .. but I can't seem to focus. When you are distracted by some things, it's just hard. Actually, I haven't finished my grammar notes that I planned to give to my students on Friday. The more notes that I typed, the more notes that I have to add.. The grammar topics seem endless.
I have to mark 7 Questions for the paper and since after zohor.. now it's 11.15pm. 1 class.. I only managed to mark 1 essay. [sigh]. Marking is part of teaching.. it's just too time consuming especially when it comes to essay. You can do impression marking and finish in a flash.. but if you plan to do remedial exercises for the students, you really have to sit and analyse. That's what I planned to do.. if I'm not distracted by my grammar notes.
Last Thursday, I broke down, typing them. It's not that anyone forced me to do it.. I'm battling my own dateline. I could have prioritized my marking which is more important at the moment if the school wants it there and then, but then, my grammar notes is as important as the marks as they need it to study..
Bottom line is.. I like doing things that I love doing.. instead of working on my priority, I tend to stick to doing what I like more.. which normally gets me into trouble hehe..
I think.. as much as I wanna type more.. I really have to stop blogging and do the inevitable.. MARKING.. and as soon as I do that.. my 10% grammar notes will be completed.. Just pray that I won't get distracted by something else when I'm typing my grammar notes hehe..
