I have marked about half of the exams. By which I mean, I makrk all the essays first, and I am done that. And now I dispair. -_- I worry that I mark too hard, or something, because I gave out an awful lot of 40/60's... but they didn't answer the right question. And that isn't my fault.

I have decided, though, that I loathe marking exams for classes that I haven't attended, especially when I know that the exam itself is a standard one the proff uses in a class he has been teaching for years. I wonder, based on the amount of kids who don't understand the question, if it really is something they were taught clearly, or not. Is it wrong of me to be so suspicious? Are kids really that dumb? On the other hand, there are enough who did get it right, or understood what was being asked well enough to answer it well, that I'm not sure. Bah. In anywace, I am taking a break for nachos and the internet before I finish up.

I am afraid to buy myself a bottle of velvet. I have an imp, courtesy of ... I forget. Some kind person from the community who slipped it in as an extra in a swap. It is... delicious. I posted a review on the forum after I first got it, and I said then that wearing it makes me want to gnaw my arm off at the wrist. It smells so... good. I even licked it. It does not taste like it smells.

I wanted a comforting scent today, though, since I had to do marking, which always makes me dispair for humanity, so I daubed some on. It is so heavenly.... but again, I really want to eat it!

So... I'm gonna. I'm gonna do it. Tonight, I am going to bake some chocolate shortbread. And I'm going to put some Velvet in it. I'll keep you updated as to how it tastes, if it makes me ill, etc... ;)

ETA: The batter tastes like it smells, but very faintly. And I think I'm channeling my sister tonight, because the more people tell me it is a bad idea, the more I push onwards with impish glee!

ETA again! Here are some pages I dug up just now...

Hrm.... Dunno about this one.

Sandalwood will make you sleepy

Myrrh is good for your breath!

'k, I'm not even going to look for chocolate and vanilla!

My cookies (chocolate shortbread) are in the oven, and I'm not sure if the whole house smells nice, or if it is just my fingers from a little spilling...

( And here in the recipe I used, minus perfume! )
