Dude, where’s my grade?

UMN Law

I approached the law school information desk trying desperately not to be “twitchy high-strung law student pestering about his grades”…but

Me: “Hi, (twitches) I was here last week about my Conlaw II grade…and I was wondering (twitch) what the status on that was…”
Infodesk guy: “Hm. I thought those were in last week. Let me call Registrarman.”
Me (still twitching, and sweating): “Thank you.”

Five minutes later, Registrarman comes out.

Registrarman: “The Conlaw grades were in over a week ago. They should be up.”
Me: “But my grade isn’t up.”
Registrarman: “That’s odd. I posted all of the Conlaw I grades last week…”
Me: “Oh, nono, but I am in Conlaw II!”
Registrarman: “OH! That’s a different course!”
Me (twitch): “Yes. It is. Sorry, I don’t want to be a pest, but, (twitch) I have had all of my other grades for a while, and this the ONLY grade I’m waiting on andso…um like US Americans and such as…”
Registrarman: “Let me go check that one.”

He disappears for 5 more minutes.

Registrarman: “Your professor has until February 1st to turn the Conlaw II grades in. She’s not late yet.”
Me (twitching, sweating, my deoderant breaking down…): “Oh…okay…thank you…”

I then scurry off awkwardly, trying not to stumble as Registrarman cackles evilly. Womp.

      I’m not compulsively checking for the grade…really.

    Do you think they meant BEFORE Feb 1 or END-OF-DAY Feb 1? Because the grades are still not posted for that class.

      They told me IF she turns the grades in on time, then they will be posted “within a day.”
