Free-riders

I just HATE free-riders. Those ones, that act as pests, parasiting on the system, those ones that are abusing the system and not producing anything, I just hate them. They are living without a purpose - awaiting a chance and rinding on it as if it was a wave in the ocean. Creating multitude of problems and consequently leaving them for others to solve.

The world would be so much nicer without those free-riders.

Exams

Its exam time. Wonderfull, but the thing about exams is, that not your knowledge is tested, but your ability to fulfill all the administrative procedures.
For example you are supposed to write a paper on a pass/fail basis, for which you get a credit. This is proven by a signature in a small book - your student record (called index) by the teacher. At the end of your study you hand in the index, with all the necessary signatures, but what do you do when you are missing your last signature and the teacher that is supposed to sign it is away from the country, and intends to come back after the deadline in which you have to hand in the index? Well, this is the art of university education, you have to master this nuances, knowledge comes later... if it ever comes. You are a university graduate - that means you are able to pass by various administrative hindrances, and you might also know some stuff about the major you studies... But that is not that important after all.
