Repent! The end (of the semester) is nigh!

Yeah, still grading here. Yesterday I returned mass quantities of graded papers (with a free paperclip for every student!) and have another assignment to grade today ... just in time for two more assignments which come due tomorrow. And then, the final exam!

Ever the optimist, this morning in the shower I wondered how things would turn out if the Rapture were to happen while I'm in the midst of all this grading. It's the kind of hypothetical that demands a poll:

This hypothetical also gave me an earworm, which I shall now share with you.

Happy grading!

Oh joy, it's time to grade more papers!
