Maybe I shouldn't have started this blog now, not with everything that's been going on.

I was sleepy all throughout my laboratory class, and all throughout the exam I had to substitute/proctor afterwards. I only got to take a nap at around 1pm, and I was woken up at around 3pm by a phone call, who dropped it before I could get my headset. I didn't really have to set my alarm at anytime, but I forgot to turn my phone off. I guess I'm making up for no nap at work yesterday.

This is the first term that we have to submit records of how we compute our grades. I guess it's all because of the rumors going around that our department is one of those were students can pay to have their grades changed, when the only documented case they have is from the College of Engineering. I don't even recall reading that issue of the student publication where that assertion about our department was made.

What's fortunate, for what it's worth, is that change of grades are now possible online. Last term I had one change of grades, while the term before I had a record-setting three, which came about because I didn't shade the blocks in the grading sheets correctly. This is ironic because that was the first term they started scrutinizing the grading sheets before they accepted them, and since the secretary left me at the registrar's office with the grading sheets of several other faculty, I had to stay there for an hour or so just "properly shading" the grades of my co-faculty who did a sloppy job. And the oversights in my grading sheets slipped past them. The irony.
