Waiting. I am waiting for my students to submit their assignments, take their second test etc. I know. It is my fault for giving them so many chances to improve in a way that I could not give them the finalised marks yet. I only gave them probational marks. I don’t make it as carry marks though because they can count for themselves the marks that they get on probational basis.
Some of the students take this opportunity to improve but some others, they just wait for their final exam to give their very best shots.
Argh, I hate waiting. Indeed it resonates with this saying “Waiting hurts. Forgetting hurts. But not knowing which decision to take can sometimes be the most painful” – Jose N Harris from his book MI VIDA: A story of faith, hope and love.
