Marking Assignments with Triplets

It's this time of the year again where it's assignment marking time.

Every year around April -July I'll be involved in tutoring a course module which is offered by Royal Academy of Dancing (RAD), London. The course module that I'm tutoring is CBTS 103 - The Healthy Dancer (Certificate of Ballet Teaching Studies). It is a distance learning theory module which I will be interacting with the students via emails or phone calls.
Reading and trying to figure out what some of them trying to write really make my eyes go blur. Of course there are also works which are excellent and straight forward.

In the past years, during the marking week, I would be really busy. Reading 2-3 study tasks (mini assignments) per student, giving individual feedbacks, then read, feedback on the draft assignment, allocating time for 1-1 tutor (via phone). Finally receiving their final assignments.

Looking at the pile of courier envelops, could really make me wonder how could I finish reading, marking and writing reports for all of it within a week. I need to submit all the reports within a week to UK. However, every year I did manage to complete it.

Last year was rushing all the marking with my huge belly...

And the huge belly turns out to be my working desk :)

This year... marking the study task is making my already almost sleepless nights become totally sleepless because during the day, I need to prepare food for the triplets, feed them and play with them. They are at this stage where they need lots of attention. They want to be encouraged, they want to be praised. I tried to do the marking in the day, but their cuteness just attracted me over. The time that I can actually start to do the marking, it's time when they all fast asleep at night, that's the best time.

So, one more week of marking to go... and a new bottle of vitamin B, C and coffee will be at my bedside.

More updates on the triplets will be after all these...
