Before, the grades rolled out through the day, upper classmen getting theirs first, and first semesters left to stew in their juices to the last hour. But this time they all get released at 4. So the library will stay open till 5pm to let people check their grades.
This is going to be one busy hour.

Yet another fellow student just asked me how many people do I think failed 3rd semester. I replied
"How should I know ? It's like someone just diagnosed with cancer asking you what are their odds. Statistics are moot when applied to individuals. From a doctor to a patient, I would have told you something empathetic and kind and supportive. But from one future doctor to another, I'll just say 'Deal with it!' "
