Laundry and I don't really get along. I've tried to pinpoint the moment when our relationship went awry -- it could be all of those unmated socks, or those "dry clean only" garments that somehow managed to find their way into the washing machine's gaping maw. Or it COULD be the time when I gave myself a back spasm doing laundry. It's hard to tell.

But, dammit all, I am CAUGHT UP on laundry. It's washed, dried, folded, and PUT AWAY. (Y'all have no idea how big a deal those last two are.)

And now? Now I must make up two finals. It's 8:30, and there may be coffee in store for me.

But the laundry! It's done!!

Actually, before I start on the final exam-making, I think I'll tackle part 2 of the "friends" meme.

Any friend of Puppy's is a friend of mine! Aside from having an awesome screen name, I must say that I value your wit above all else. You have this absolutely delicious, warped sense of humor that sends me into fits of laughter. Snail Pr0n -- need I say more? I'm also a complete slut for intelligence, and while our favorite authors are on opposite sides of the Atlantic, it's great fun talking lit with you. I love getting to know people from whom I can learn new things, or gain a new perspective, and you definitely deliver. I admire your ability to organize (my own skillz are patchy), and I suspect I share your bordering-on-unhealthy love of Sterilite bins and Sharpies. (Seriously -- I cannot walk through Target without taking a LOOK at the "Home Organizatin" aisles.)

You also love provoking [livejournal.com profile] evilpuppy, so that's just one more thing we have in common. XD

Well, my super-productive day appears to have finally hit the wall. I'm beat. But I did manage to get the Comp II final done and sent off to the printers (whee! email!).

Now I have to work on the Brit Lit final. Hmm. I'm too tired to work on it tonight, but I'm having a hard time trying to decide what KIND of final it should be. I'm tempted to make it all essay questions, based loosely on the discussion questions I had assigned them throughout the course of the semester. Last time I taught this class, the final was ALL identification, and people did REALLY BADLY on it.

I seem to recall having essay exams in my lit classes, and I lived to tell the tale. Okay, so it's not as easy to grade as a conventional test, but this is a REALLY small class, so grading essays qon't be that much of a pain.

...But how many essay questions should there be in a final exam? Five? Ten? It shouldn't take them more than two hours to complete. *taps chin*

I know I want to test them on the following works:

Pride and Prejudice
A Defence of Poetry
A Vindication of the Rights of Woman
Kubla Khan
We Are Seven
Assorted Byron poems
Goblin Market

Maybe one question per work? Is that too much? I'm so bad at judging how much is TOO much. I mean, that identification test that I gave last time around seemed SO EASY to me.

Ugh. Headache. I'll ponder this more tomorrow.
