Swimming in Blue Books

I'm a reader for an Intro to Law class this quarter. Being a reader means that I simply grade the mid term and the final. I can only work a maximum of 20 hours, so I don't attend class. Last week, I administered the mid term for my class and went home with 43 blue books. The exam consisted of two essay questions which I have to finish grading by tomorrow afternoon.

The summer session is only 6 weeks long, so the students have had only 3 weeks to learn the material that they were being tested upon. Grading isn't so bad, except that it can get tedious after awhile. Today I finished grading one of the essay questions, and I'll probably start tackling the second one tonight.
