Still waiting for final marks?

My vacation is going AWOL

December 26, 2010

Between worrying about my marks and catching up on my sleep, more than a third of my Christmas break has managed to disappear without any warning.

The problem is, I haven’t been doing any of the stuff I fantasized about doing when I was studying for exams. Instead, I’ve developed a new hobby over the past couple days.

I turn on my laptop and load up the webpage where final marks are being released. And when I see that my Molecular Biology mark still hasn’t been posted, I press "refresh."

Then I press it again.

And again.
