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! |

The electrical needs to be looked at, certainly, but the fast that there's some water damage doesn't worry me for you for the short term. You aren't going to fall through that floor. :~D

If she does, get pictures ;-)
I'm sorry, that was awful.

oooh! The plot thickens. I dearly hope that the dean can take care of this for Steve.
I sorta know/understand what he is going through. Happened to me as an undergrad (in a way), and then my mother was one of the graduation advisors at UTA for years. Now she is an undergraduate advisor. She didn't like telling people they couldn't graduate.
Delivering letters in person is always a good idea. If he can get the dean to approve a retroactive graduaton date, then the sectretary can't do anything about it. She will have been bypassed, and at the same time, the advisor who gave the bad info. will be reprimanded (doesn't look good when it's time for a raise, etc.) Deans can always trump a rule, it's part of their job. You just have to prove that you are doing what you say you are doing and have done your best, yada yada.

Steve asked me to write the letter to dean and I did and got some tips and such and it looks pretty good. It's an effort to get the dean to see that Steve was honestly trying to do what he should, but got bad advice and can he just do what he thought he was gonna do and if not can he take 2 hours of thesis research instead of a class?
We've tried to make Steve look cooperative (which he is) but not at fault (which he isn't).

Now I need some cucumbers to eat it with! That sounds really, really, really good. Wow - can't wait for spring! I need to grow some cukes.
Glad to hear about the yogurt. I've been so overwhelmed at work and come home so tired that I don't want to do much more than survive. Argh!

I think he's over-reacting a little.
