So here we are, at the end of another year. I'm sitting in a university computer lab, wondering what the heck to write here beyond the obvious. My exam results, huh?
Well, that's something of a story that's still ongoing.
Based on the time that last year's results were released, and a communique from someone who is supposed to be in charge of releasing our exam results this year, we all expected the exam results to be released last Wednesday at approximately 5pm. Now the sacred hour approached and we were all nervously awaiting the fruits of our labour. 5pm, 6pm . . . 8pm. No results. Well, no system is infallible we told ourselves. Besides, it was only our assumptions that lead us to believe we'd be getting them then anyhow.
The following day, it was heard that the aforementioned person in charge of pressing the Enter key or whateveritis that they do had fallen ill. No results that day, fair enough. The tension was getting to people, naturally, and we all eagerly/nervously awaited the Friday. And that day dawned, with most people receiving their results around noon.
When I say "most people", I mean "everyone barring myself". The hours dragged by with my nerves growing increasingly frayed around the edges, but no results materialised.
I think the word "bugger" sums up my reactions quite nicely. It's now Saturday afternoon and in all likelihood I'm not going to hear anything until Monday. Despite the rest of my coursemates having already received their results.
Bugger.
Man, at my school results would come out like a week past the deadline, maybe more lol.
