Default Anyone else feeling sick?

The anxiety is really getting to me. I've been fine up until last Thursday when results came out for 1-4. I didn't take any of those exams but it made me realize that results may come out early for everyone else. I don't ever remember results coming out early, but people in our office said that back in 1995 or something like that they came out a week early.

I dread the initial period where I find out results are posted and my heart sinks into my stomach. I'd rather skip all the drama.

I'm there with you, pal. Is this your first essay exam as well?
Good luck on Friday, or Thursday, whenever we find out.

I'm with Smarty Pants too. I felt fine until the grades came out on Thursday (I supervise one student, who did not pass 3), but now a nervous wreck I am.

First essay exam for me.

The butterflies are in my gut as well and won't leave. I just want it to be over. I hate to wish time away, but this is one instance where I would like it to be Saturday morning and the results were known and I was over the initial high or low from finding out.

My bet is that the results won't come out early as they did last week. We will have to sweat it out until Friday afternoon.

There's a part of me that (still) has some faith in the SoA. I think that
they try to be equitable in their treatment of students. If one group gets results early, so should the others?

as much as I want to agree, I doubt we will get out results early.

How's this for a rancid idea: Give the exam 1-4 writers their results one day early and give the WA exam writers their results 3 weeks late!!

Smarty Pants,
I am with you. I hate waiting and I wish they never released the 1-4 results early. Good luck.

I agree with you guys about the results coming out a day early. See my comments in the Course 1-4 section, "They're out" for which I was criticized a couple of times.
