End of Current Duties

Monday this week, was the final day for us to submit marks for our courses. The few days before was then essentially for us to complete everything, totalling up marks and enter the appropriate percentages for the course assessments and finally keying in the marks. My colleagues informed me then I could export a csv file from some Excel worksheet and import them into the marks module. However, I have always felt uneasy doing this (particularly if we know there might be differences in the fields or data not updated) and I preferred keying them one-by-one by myself manually into the system. In a way, I keep a check of what goes into the system. Of course, there is always the possibility of doing mistakes out of say, being tired (as my colleague suggested). So, I was wide awake that Sunday night (and early Monday morning) trying to finish up everything (including scanning samples of exam scripts).

Had about two to three hours of sleep that day. By the evening, I told my other half that I need to take pain killers to ease the pain. So the following day (Tuesday), I was essentially drowsy and was unable to do much.

For Wednesday, we have already planned to go to my former university to collect the supply of medicine which has almost finished. It is almost always when I visited the university health centre, the doctor that I was meeting, changed to someone else; it does not matter much since all the records are in the system they kept. For some reason, I thought I was supposed to do my blood test that day but the doctor told me to defer this to April. So I was there only briefly.

Today, I further completed some tasks of signing documents for the teaching portfolio. The only thing that's left for me to do is to return the exam scripts  to the Exams Unit. I will have to do this at some other convenient time. After that, I will be considered unemployed.

Tomorrow, I will have relatives coming to our house since there will be a wedding we need to go to during the weekend. Besides that, my youngest has already taken up a part-time job at the nearby Aeon mall.
