If I grade all night, the exams will be done by about 11:30 am. About an hour for final exam score entry, and another couple of hours for calculating final grades. Submit and done by 3:00 pm at the latest. Two hours to spare (if the website is working)! It's not like that deadline is important. Graduation is the following day, and these students really don't mind not receiving their diploma. It's not like mom and dad and granny made the hotel reservations 6 months ago and traveled for 6 hours to get to town for the event. Maybe I'll just sleep in instead.

I'm somewhere between anger and bargaining.
