15 of 100 Daily Art Journals

So, today's post deals with the fact that there's this box. This box is filled with 136 projects that need to be graded this weekend. I've been taking this box to and from work for the past 4 nights and have not made a dent in it whatsoever. This box is my enemy right now. I dedicate my victory over this box (when it happens) to all of the teacher who, like me, have an enemy box right now. May, the end of the year, yet most stressful time of the year. The end is coming, and most of us are probably not glad...yet. There is so much to do in so little time, as the saying goes. If I could clone myself, I would. This profession is not for the light-hearted. It is not for people who like to 'work on their tan' in the summer. I have more reasons than june, july and august. I have exactly 95 students. Therefore, I have 95 reasons why I teach. And the impact I have on them, although it doesn't seem obvious today and maybe not tomorrow either, make all of this super-hard work totally worth it.
