The End is Nigh

So here are the deadlines I am facing:

Sept 26:  Grade essays in PSCI 150. It’s getting pretty late on Sept 26 in this time zone.

Sep 28, midnight: Grade the second round of Polimon Go captures in PSCI 150.

Oct. 1:  Sabbatical Proposal Due

Oct 1:  Book orders for next semester

Oct 1:  Report on my activities for the Digital Fluency Initiative project I am part of at GF.

Oct 1:  Assessment plans / data brought up to date

Oct 1:  (Self-imposed) Get the presidential prognostication contest off the ground

Oct 1:  Aggh! I think I’m forgetting one.

Oct 1-ish:  Essay finished for students in Community Mediation, so they can have it in time to read it by the due date.

Oct 3: Final standings, EFL, showing the  woebegone Woeverines tantalizingly close to the EFL championship, but it might as well be an infinite chasm since the Wolverines couldn’t step up when the chips were down and time was running out.

I got the sabbatical proposal done today, three days early!  It’s a miracle!  The essay is underway, and the grading is underway, and I’ve thought about the book orders, and the assessment data is all stacked on my desk, and I’ve gotten permission from my mentor to be a little late with the DFI stuff, and maybe I can finish the one I’ve forgotten, if I can only remember it.  And I will just have to start the prognostication contest a few days later.

By the way, Oct 1 is the last day of the Community Mediation training unit — three weeks of Thursday evenings and all-day Saturdays.  Brilliantly scheduled by some doofus.

And here are today’s standings, without comments. I apologize. If Haviland wanted to go out in a blaze of thoroughly documented glory, it should have let the pennant race be a little more scintillating.
