All Set For Higher Standards
(I work at a test proctoring facility. A student has just finished taking his placement exams.)
Me: “Alright, you placed into University Physics and Calculus 1.”
Student: “Okay.”
Me: “Do you have any last questions?”
Student: “Who do I talk to about registration?”
Me: “Go upstairs to Admissions. They should be able to help you.”
Student: “Okay.” *stands there*
Me: “…Anything else I can help you with?”
Student: “Nope.” *stands there*
Me: “Okay… you’re all set.”
Student: “Okay.” *stands there*
(I try to subtly signal the student to move on by shuffling my papers.)
Me: “Is there anything else I can help you with?”
Student: “Nope.” *stands there*
Me: “So… your scores have been entered into the database. So… you’re all set.”
Student: “Oh, I’m all set?”
Me: “Yes…”
Student: “Oh, okay!” *leaves*
