A case of the Thursdays

      Today seemed like a regular old day at school as a TA.  I was an annoying shadow that did a lot of grading. But, hey, I've almost got grading down to an art.  I graded the Warm-Up quiz and homework for each class and recorded the scores and attendance online before the period was even over.  I'd like to think that takes talent, but it really isn't all that hard.  You just have to be able to focus, and, when you have nothing else to do, focusing is really easy.
      Let me tell you about the metro.  I don't recollect that I've ever mentioned much about the metro before.  They aren't as bad as I thought they would be.  I still want to wash my hands every time I get off but that's just me.  You can meet some really nice people on the metro and some people would rather be left alone, especially in the mornings.  I get a lot of funny looks for laughing out loud at things, but hey, what else is new?  A few metro stations are common areas for promising musicians to play/sing with the hopes that their up ended hat will fill as they perform.  There are quite a few saxophone players in DC and today there was an A' Capella  trio singing as I got off at the stop by my apartment.  They were quite good and seemed to be thoroughly enjoying themselves.  I sometimes wonder what it would be like to perform for people for the sheer joy of performing.  Performing like that would make me so nervous.  I wonder how they do it...
      I came home from school and watched a movie in my bed with the hopes of falling asleep to it but had no such luck.  When it was over, I finished writing the answer key for the homework assignment that is due tomorrow and then I wrote a quiz for my Pre-Calculus class.  I think I've decided that Wednesday and Thursday are the hardest days of the week.  Wednesday is when you really start to get tired and Thursday, you want it to be Friday so badly but it just isn't.  The weekend can't come fast enough sometimes. Only one more day and luckily it's a short one, well at least it feels shorter.
