Chaos is a Greek word

Final grades are calculated. One step closer to having survived this course in its entirety. Unfortunately it's not that simple, though, because in order to actually post the grades I have to first combine them with the grades from the probability course that they all took last semester. Which seems odd and silly to me but shouldn't really be a big deal, except that it kind of is because those probability grades from last semester still aren't finalized. Joder. Last semester ended three months ago. I'll keep the rant about southern European inefficiency mostly to myself, but know that I'm thinking it.

Anyway, there is also one exam score missing which I bet could easily turn into my having to give an oral exam, because some people here seem to think that giving oral exams to students who fuck up is an acceptable way to expect a professor (aka me) to spend his or her (aka my) time. And, I'm going to have to fail some people, which is never fun. And whenever I finally am able to post the damn grades, I'll have to have annoying painful conversations in Spanish with everyone who doesn't like their grades. Whine whine bitch bitch.

Having the stress of the past few months replaced with low- to medium-grade irritation and expasperation is a definite improvement. But this is starting to feel like it might never end.
