Herek was casually marking a few errors here and there on the students who went his preferred way of handing in the typed essay over doing it on that site known as Blackboard. Here, he could find the mistakes rather easily as opposed to trying to let a computer do it because half the time, it insisted properly spelled words were misspelled and thus, it made points deduct as a result. That meant more work for him during the break and given students wanted to see their results almost right away, Herek really had a small timeframe to push the grades out by Tuesday and today on the final day of school for the semester was Friday. Four days in total, essentially. As he sighed however, a knock came to his door. That distracted him and so, he got up, walking to open it where on other side, stood one of his students: Mason.
"Mason, come in," he announced when seeing the male. He was seemingly choking up in nervousness a bit about seeing Herek, but all in all, the Brazilian male was a slightly youthful figure who all in all, wasn't exactly keen on acting like an adult..mostly. "I actually prefer the paper, really. The computers usually get things wrong."
Herek could be strict when he wanted to and more often than not, he only did so with the unruly students. Mason wasn't quite that, but he did struggle here and there with some of his papers and tests. Being a good student went a long way however and Herek was more than likely willing to curve his grade from a C to a B.
"I'll read over yours now and pick some of the issues for you to fix. You are still having trouble heading home right away, right?"
Mason would usually come to him about some his problems and the slightly younger male had expressed issues before in the past about how his hometown was overly strict on certain ideas and beliefs. Herek could believe that because to be frank, his home down in Curitiba was just like that.
"Thanks for the wishes though," he continued. "It's actually going to be my first time celebrating the Christmas holidays up here alone. Did you have any plans yourself? I know most like to head back home and spend time with their family before coming back for the Spring Semester."
