Don't you just hate it ..

.. when something bad overshadows something good?

Today, my Bachelor-tutor e-mailed me, telling me he'd marked my Bachelor-paper (but, being the sadist that he is, he neglected to tell me the actual mark). As you may understand, I went mad - this is the single most important mark in my academic career sofar. I drove over to Utrecht as fast as the Mini could handle, and it turned out I had an eight (which is, on a scale from one to ten, an excellent mark!).

Minutes later I find out that I had to fill in some forms, to confirm the fact that I'm writing my Bachelor-paper and that I'll be going to the graduation-ceremony. Thing is, nobody told me that. So, now I run the risk of having to miss the graduation-ceremony (which would suck, but nothing more than that), and there is a chance I'll have to delay my entire study for half a year, because I can't enter my Master's year without my official Bachelor-diploma. Half a year! Because I forgot to fill in some forms three fucking days ago! Can you believe it?!

I bloody loathe bureaucracy.

Cheers
