Sunday.

The Olympics are over by a week and for most of us I think life has probably somewhat returned to normal.

I’ve been waiting for the results for the course I did during the summer semester, and somehow I think the way that CityU releases results is quite strange. It announced that results are available from 27th August, but up till today I still haven’t got them. I called the various departments and the answer I got was that results are available for viewing from 27th, but it doesn’t mean that they definitely would be available. Individual departments may delay their announcements, and there’s nothing the academic registration office can do about. I thought that was a bit weird, as most people would expect the results would be available when the date of release is announced, and even if results would be released late, I’m sure not many people would expect the results to be still unreleased 5 days after the scheduled date. And according to whoever that I spoke to, it’s actually even possible that the results won’t be released until mid-September.

Sometimes things like these make me appreciate NUS much more, really.
