Inheritance

It's just my second day back from Holy Week break and I'm constantly harassed by students who want to know their current class standings, when their final exams will be, need to present their thesis to me before their coming defense on Wednesday, etc. On top of this, I've also been receiving requests from those higher up in the university's administration to produce so-and-so documents or papers needed on this-and-that date. The latter is all part of my responsibilities that go with my administrative role here in our department. No wonder a former colleague who use to hold this position was so stressed out when dealing with all this especially at this time of the year. And now it's my turn.
