Dear Destiny, Stop the Grading!

Dear Destiny,
Stop the grading! Seriously. I have been grading for approximately 8 hours each day for the last 5 consecutive days. That's 4 times the amount of work I'm contracted for and more time than I've actually put into sleeping. I hope this is adding good karma for things to come... In any case, 200-some-odd papers later I am feeling bits of hope return. And additionally, using cross-country travel planning as an occasional diversion from the grading madness has (I think) proved to be fruitful (fingers crossed). So I guess all has not been lost; but I am looking forward to spending my time doing something else. What that something is remains to be seen (that's where I'm trusting you, Destiny), but I'm guessing it will involve many job applications and packing. (It may/may not also involve some serious R&R, with books... and frozen yogurt. Just sayin'.)
