Grading (again):
The first time grading problem sets in a quarter is the least fun. You have gotten out of the habit (it's been almost a month), and most important, you don't know who the smart people are. Not that you give preference or anything to the people you decide know what's happening in calculus land, but you start with their homeworks, so you can figure out what's going on with the questions and where people are likely to run into problems on a set where most of them are right. So for the first week, you try to start out with the neat ones first, but that's definitely far from a perfect measure.
In case you haven't guessed, I'm there right now. Luckily this problem set was pretty easy, so I can ease back in.
