Meep.

Today, the first exam results have been published. Most people have got the results of at least one exam. Some even know the results of two.
And some haven't got a single result yet.

Guess which group I belong to?

Yeah. [Image censored to protect the guilty.]

Next publication date: January 6th. Aside from the fact that I'm surprised that anyone at the university of the Holy Roman City Of Cologne is pretending to do anything work-like on Epiphany of all days*, that's so far away. I mean, that's like, NEXT YEAR! :p

I'd really hoped that at least one of the three professors might have made up their minds. Not surprised that Japanese professor isn't done yet, since she's got a shitload of work to do practically single-handedly (...), but the others don't quite have that excuse. And it's not like I wrote insanely lengthy essays. Twelve hand-written pages, that's not too much for a four-hour exam. Bah.

(Says the girl who managed to review exactly two stories for this year's MEFAs between *drumroll* June and December... :p)

To make things even better, office hour on Tuesday was cancelled due to illness. I don't mind that professors fall ill, that sort of thing happens. What I do mind is when I make my way to Cologne after heavy snowfalls, have to deal with the incompetence of Colognian drivers, manage to find a parking lot, rush into university, and THEN find a notice on the professor's door saying "Sorry, office hour cancelled". Dear professor's assistants: There were six people on the wait list. Each of them left their e-mail address in case of something going wrong. How much work would it have been to send an e-mail to these six people about the cancelled office hour?

And thus I don't know yet whether my choice of texts pleaseth the examiner. Could as well have procrastinated. :p

Don't I love being in Limbo.

*Cologne cathedral supposedly holds the bones of the Three Wise Men, so Epiphany is a bit of a Big Thing (TM) there.

Oh dear, it is awful to be left like that, I know the feeling.

... she's got a shitload of work to do practically single-handedly (...)

Poor Japanese teacher, I hope her single-handedness is not of the Maedhros' variety... *** ducks ***

(You are the one who forces me to make this terrible Maedhros jokes...)

[oloriel.livejournal.com]

I knew this was coming! XD No, in this particular case it's the "as a single person, but with the regular amount of hands per person" sort of single-handedness. *g*

[nelyo-russandol.livejournal.com]

You take a huge weight off my mind... ;o)

Though come to think of it, with the university's equal opportunity hiring philosophy, your idea wasn't that absurd.

And the Maedhros variety of single-handedness probably wouldn't pose too much of a problem in grading essays and theses, anyway...

WHY AM I EVEN PONDERING THESE THINGS.

Mental aerobics, maybe?

I almost made the same comment :), good that I looked first.

Ich hoffe, die Ergebnisse sind dafür dann unheilig gut!

Die von der Person direkt unter mir (... also, in der Liste) würden mir ja schon reichen >_>

Gah, that sucks. Do try to forget all about exam results over Christmas, though, and do your best to enjoy the holidays!

*sighs* I will try... family won't make it easy, though. It would've been nicer if I had just one or two results to talk about...
