Sep. 25th, 2016 05:33 pmI finished commenting on all the rough drafts for Monday, so I had half a week free of grading. That was good since my RS Games story was due on Wednesday night. I finished writing it on Tuesday, staying up until 12:30am and sent it off to Bear for a quick proofreading. And I sent it in on time on Wednesday night! Yay. Of course, on Thursday, I just had to look at the prompts again and got another idea for a new story. I emailed the mods, and now I have a few weeks to write a pinch hit as well. I have all the grading to do now, but I really should just write more and deadlines are a wonderful thing.
On Thursday, I collected Final Paper 1, so I need to grade them by next Thursday. And as usual I'm procrastinating. I'm just got to my parents, since Bear has a weird schedule this week and can't watch Tanya his usual Monday. That means I will have more time at work since my commute is my Dad driving me to and from work and I can grade a bunch.
So on Thursday, I took a night off and actually watched some TV and read my book. I checked out the premiere of "This is Us." I really miss "Brothers and Sisters" and I'm hoping for the same type of feel. I liked the pilot enough to check out more. I'm going to give this show three to four episodes and see how it goes. I'm not really checking out any other new shows, other than "Luke Cage." "Flash" Season 2 is coming to Netflix on Oct 4th, so that will keep me busy. I did watch "The Good Place" today and while it was a little amusing, it's not for me right now.
I did finish a book and am almost done with another, so I'm really having a good reading month. My Dad was showing me his Goodreads a few weeks ago when I was here last and I saw that one of the books he read this year was Shards of Honor by Lois McMaster Bujold. I've been meaning to read her for a while, so I connected my Kindle to his Calibre and downloaded so many books. And once I finished Uprooted , I knew I wanted to do Bujold next. I'm on the women writers in sci-fi and fantasy kick. (I'm reading Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones now and I put Jemisin's "The Fifth Season" on the waiting list in the library).
