Marking madness

There is something brutally honest about marking exams. In a profession where so much is intangible and about appearance rather than substance, grinding your way through a hundred handwritten exams, having to read the same questions and answers over and over again, has a certain cathartic function.

Thanks to an early start at 4 am this morning, I have now finished this batch and can return to more casual tasks like thesis guidance. And in just above 48 hours, TK 1794 will take off for Istanbul with an onward connection to TLV which feels incredibly exciting.
