someone remind me why am I still doing this. oh, and FML.
So.
This session, some exams got pushed back because they managed to do some mess that I don't want to know with the graduation dates. Among which, there was the one I was supposed to do next. It was supposed to be Jan. 31st. Then that date disappeared and it said that it was only on the 21st. Fine, okay.
Then today I go online to sign myself and I find out that: my exam was supposed to be on the 14th, the one for my class for whoever attended last year is on the 25th, and on the 21st there are the orals for the bachelor class. (I'm in the master's.) This has NOT been notified in any way.
Now, chances are:
a) I do it next session, which means that in June/July/September I have to do eight finals.
b) He lets me do it on the 21st and I can sign the receipt later, but there'll be something like one hundred people because the bachelor class is huge.
c) He lets me do it on the 25th signing the receipt later, but guess what, ON THE 28TH I HAVE ANOTHER ONE, aka the one that weights most on my overall grade, and which I skipped the first time and failed the second, and half the reason was that the teacher is a first grade dick, so it's not as if I can afford to cram everything in two days for that one (especially because half of my problem was stuff that he hadn't explained and said that he wouldn't ask which is actually fucking complicated and which he totally asks anyway, and if he realizes that you have problems, then HE STARTS WITH THEM).
The best would be b), but it'd be least likely since he'll have a bunch of people that day and he doesn't need me on top of them. a) means postponing a final that is relatively easy and the last thing I need is something clogging up my schedule next term. c) means a disaster because then I have to revise for both at once and I'm not really sure that I can juggle it since Last Exam requires my entire concentration. (And in my original plan I was supposed to have two weeks to revise for it, not TWO DAYS.)
These are the moments when I wish I could get a job with a damned bachelor degree, but obviously in this country you don't even get one with the master's, so. I mean, seriously, is it so hard to set a database where you sign your e-mail if you attend a certain class and if exam dates are changed or anything everyone gets sent a general e-mail warning you? Be right back trying to write to my professor and wanting to weep in frustration while wondering why the fuck am I even hoping to graduate without losing a year instead of six months. I mean jfc I'm already doing in one year what I should have done in two because if you graduate in December and you don't have time to go to classes in the first term (and I didn't) you lose half of the first year, but they don't exactly make it easy for you, do they.
Okay, pity party is done. Will go back to try and phrase that mail as nicely as I can without making it sound pathetic. Depending on the answer, I might go spending twenty euros in the cupcake place in the next few days just to cheer myself up.
