Oh woe is me...

To mark or not to mark

That is the question

To suffer the grammar and spelling

Of outrageous answers

Or to take pen to the seas of paper

And by marking, finish them. 

To eat, to sleep, no more

And by sleep to say we end the long nights of

endless red pen...

Tis a possibility devoutly to be wished...

To eat, to sleep, perchance to dream,

ay, theres the rub, for in that sleep there

would be no failures and stupidity 

of students who shuffle through the mortal land of school.

As you may be able to tell.... I have a sea of marking... An endless torrent of work that never ends... my red pen is reaching it's end and I fear it's funeral is around the corner... Alas... Oh woe is me... 

I need coffee. Stat.
