So, yeah.
Today, I am avoiding writing a paper.
What you say, a paper? I thought you were done school! Well, that makes two of us. Or more, depending on how many people are reading this. As it turns out, not so much with the done. The head of my department has luckily agreed to let me do my LS 4OMG of
Me-not-knowing-I-was-one-credit-short-for-grad-OMG-WhatdoIdo-ness, as an independent study. Well, she says she will help the petition, as will me academic advisor.
So basically, what this means, is I have to cough up $500 for the honour of writing a 20-40 (yes big range) page paper, which will be the sole thing graded, and that will allow me to get the final credit I need to graduate.
Aaaaaaaand...
Did I mention I not only have one job, in my field, 4 days a week? But a second job, on weekends? And am props lead for CAINE? And gaming stuff that I like doing? And a car that needs an oil change, bills that need paying, and a whackload of debt? And do not really have the time, money or inclination to be writing a massive paper right now. But, I am, and will find the aforementioned things and get it done. I've started the proposal, to be handed in (er, emailed) to my Prof, for Monday-ish. I will have to finish the paper by April.
And um, I will hope my petition goes through, as I have only heard "Did you send it?" so far. And yes, I did. On Monday. But she has not receieved it, I guess. Eeek. So am hoping that she gets it and I didn't somehow send it to the wrong place, get it lost in the mail, or have the universe conspiring against me, and somehow it's in Nunavut right now being looked at quizically by someone in an ingloo.
