The process of getting exam results

Dear non-ICM readers, I will now share a typical ICM experience that usually occurs towards the end of the exam week and continues one or two weeks after. I am of course talking about the exam results. Here's a little example of what it can look like (remember, this is ALL happening in the same thread on Facebook):

1. Someone posts on facebook: "Branding results are online!!"
2. Everyone holds their breath and go online in Osiris to check the results. They aren't there.
3. The people who previously have been "offline" in the facebook chat to appear to be studying for the exam the next day, feels the need to come forward to comment and say something like "nooo, I don't have them". That type of comments continue for about 15 minutes.
4. About 150 anxious students start sitting in front of their computers, clicking "refresh" every second.
5. After 30-40 minutes of refreshing, people start to doubt the few ones who have their results (maybe it's a scam?).
5. People start getting annoyed with the teacher instead. "Why put some results online and not all at once?"

Around 60 comments later, they give up for the night, and then it starts all over again when the next results are online. You gotta love ICM!
