The Light at the End of the Tunnel---
--is the headlights of the oncoming train.
Which is to say that I finally--finally--finished my grading. Yes, you won't have to hear me Bitch & Moan about that for...well, at least another week.
Unfortunately, I chose to celebrate my completion of grading by doing what all people in my romantic situation do--drinking alone. Several--rather too many--glasses of incredibly cheap red wine last night. On an empty stomach.
And this morning, I ponder--does anything give you a worse hangover than cheap red wine? (Except for drinking champagne over several hours under a hot sun, which as a practice is, I believe, banned under the Geneva convention--my God is that a suicidal practice.)
So today will be spent, head in hands, whimpering about how life isn't fair. Which should amuse my students to no end...

Well, it certainly amuses me. Glad you finished the grading before you finished the bottle - or the box. :)
I agree that both drinks (cheap red wine and champagne consumed under a hot sun) result in awful, I-want-to-die, I-will-never-drink-again sort of hangovers. I hope yours went away fairly promptly, and.... drink more water next time. :)
