The Hobbit Hole XXVII - And there are many paths to tread...
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 01/16/2006 6:56:15 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

And there are many paths to tread

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

You guys are so cool.

Steve finally got hold of the guy...he said there must have been some misunderstanding about the 2 more hours...yes, Steve has to have them. In other words, he lied to Steve. He told Steve that he didn't need any more hours to graduate. Steve asked him point blank because I was concerned about it. So now Steve has to sign up and pay for two more hours.

He hasn't heard anything back on the thesis.

Matthew drew a delightfully violent cartoon concerning the guy. It was so good I had him hide it in case someone finds it and has us arrested! LOL!

I feel almost out of optimism. I feel like we're swept up in some kind of scam. I don't even know what to do. The worst thing I can imagine is they don't let him graduate in May. All the things he needed to do with the thesis he could have gotten done last semester, but they never would return it to him and he never pressed the issue.

2J ...

No matter what, no matter how hard they try, they can't keep Steve from his degree forever. If he has to take two more hours, so be it. Know that you will call the guy a jack@ss to his face at your first opportunity, and reach serenity via that certain knowledge.

Now, in practical terms, what does "two more hours" mean? And if he takes the two more hours, and they reject his thesis, what will he have to do? And can he get it in writing?

It's a slough, sure enough ... but there's gotta be something gorgeous on the other side, right?

Well, no, you really can't have too many engineer types. But we could use a doctor type to patch up all the results of engineering experiments.

Getting it in writing is going to be a priority from now on...this "He said" and "there must be some confusion" business has got to stop. We did discuss that this evening.

He'll likely have to take 2 more hours of "thesis" which is a class that he gets credit for but doesn't have to show up for. I don't know what will happen if they reject his thesis again this semester.

Nurse is good! Are you equipped to remove appendages or appendices that we no longer want?

Night! I got to a good point in my coding so I will go to bed too. I think I can see the light at the end of this assignment... it's due Monday so I have to have it done Thursday night before I go see Talon.

Steve should probably write a letter to the head of the Department in which he's getting his Masters explaining the events, mentioning all that he had been told and by whom. He should ask if there is some way he can do an Independent Study course for the remaining 2 hours, so that he can graduate in May, as he was led to believe he would.

Colleges let folks do independent study ALL the time. Heck, I'd think the work he's doing right now, and his after hours rainwater monitoring every day could be fashioned into some self-designed course, after all it IS in the field of study. It is ridiculous that he's been jerked around like this.
