I’ve never been an obsessive grade-checker. I usually wait till my friends tell me that our grades are posted to log on and finally check. Call it apathy, call it laziness, call not giving a damn. Yes, I know that last one means the same thing as the first one. I only bring this up because when I finally decide to get off my ass and check grades, the system is overloaded. All I need to do is make sure I passed my classes so I don’t have to worry about not graduating this semester. I’m thinking the system is overloaded because all the 1Ls are frantically checking to make sure they at least made a B or something. Some of them might be checking to make sure they passed so as not to jeopardize their GPA and possibly get kicked out of school. While I sympathize with their plight, there is more riding on my not passing than their not passing, so I therefore have no patience for the overloading of the online grade web site.

1Ls, get off. I want to graduate this semester.
