When the University fucks and you can't fuck back...
I am terribly pissed right now. I hate Romanian education system, and I hate the University of Oradea. You can't imagine what just happened to me. Yesterday I went to the uni to see when the exams start. And what do I find? A god damn list with all the 4th (last) year students which still have not passed exams. I search for my name and I get an 8 bullets list with exams which I KNOW FOR SURE that I passed, starting with the 2nd year. I nearly fell off my legs. WTF!? I can't believe that they are telling me now that I still have to pass these pieces of shit, while back then they told me I gloriously passed. How do you call this? In Romanian we say: tzaaaaaaaapa!
So, today, early in the morning, after a non-sense lecture (yes, I attended it... well...half of it), I went to the secretary's office and asked about my grades. They told me I was out of the schedule for working with the students. I was so pissed that I said "I'm within my working hours, so could you please help me out so I could go to work". Well she smiled, to my surprise, and asked me about my problem. I told her and she started searching through the files and folders of the students. Guess what?! She found out that she was mistaken when she wrote those lists with names and exams and that I actually passed quite a few of those exams. The easy ones, obviously. Even so, I have a few which are grade-less. Yes, you are right. The difficult ones are the ones without grades... How can that be possible? I understand a fail grade, but not a grade at all? Very frustrating. So, with a big fucking smile on her damn face, she told me that I'll have to talk to the professors.
Well that's gonna be fun. And what am I going to tell them? "You know, remember me? Of course you don't. Well I have a genuine problem. I need my grade back. What grade? Well that one which you stole from me you... you... jerk!"
Did I say how pissed I am? Well I'm very, very, very pissed. I hope the situation will come out to a good end, 'cause otherwise I can say a big buh-bye to my graduation this year.
I like the "you might be a redneck" joke so here are some, which I came up with right now...
You might be a redneck if you can't read the damn grades and write them again on a piece of paper. You might be a redneck if you tell your students they've passed and then 1-2 years later watch them searching for you down the hall ways to see WTF happened. You are for sure a redneck if you, as a professor, can't keep an evidence of the grades you give. I might be a redneck as I tolerate this kind of mentality.
Darn education...
