01/10 - Tree of Money Tuesday!

Pretty much the same thing happened during my final year. If you form an opinion it is best to keep it to yourself in certain situations. I too ended up having to appeal a biased grade however I went straight to the university president since my classes were capstones with the department chair. So in my last year I ended up taking her up on the offer she made during orientation when she talked with everyone. To this day I still remember walking through those huge wooden doors and saying Ms. X I need to take you up on that offer.

 

What offer did she make? Forgive me but what is a capstone?

the Tree of Money must be watered from time to time with the blood of turkers (hard blocks)

 

Well the offer was after her presentation and speech that basically boiled down to "we have quite a few rigid thinkers around here..." I had personally went up to her after the event and talked with her during the mixer and what she said was expounded upon. She made the offer to me as a freshman since I was in a new hybrid-degree program "If you ever need anything don't hesitate to come and see me and I am sure I can get it straightened out." Well sitting 2 weeks from application for graduation I had a professor who was also my department chair that just did not like the way I thought. So at every turn that final year I kept getting nailed with BS, and then he threatened to not sign off on my capstones unless I change my thinking immediately to his way of seeing things...

Capstones are basically a culmination of everything in your degree, since it was hybrid degrees it required a less traditional method than say an internship, or work study.

 

Wheres the late night batches though?

 

I was just thinking that.

Damn. This shit and Rescue Rangers was my shit.

 

I can't wait for the reboot. I can't believe David Tennant is voicing Scrooge.

 

Ahhh I see I see. Yep. I had to waltz into my chair's office and hand him the paper. I basically said "you may not agree with my reasoning which is subjective no matter how you look at it, but the math is correct, thus my conclusion is possible/plausible/not outside the realm of reality and it's well researched and cited. Got my A.

My advisor is also cool as all getout and has gotten me out of a tight space before as well.

I just can't bring myself to learn from the perspective of someone else or communicate my ideas with a (your view here) filter.

But I also need my A. Haha. Rough.

 

SphericalSun...

 

But when are they gonna reboot ReBoot?

 

That would be amazing!

 

Didn't he have a really sinister side in all those episodes... I am going to have to rewatch a few episodes sometime.

A good advisor is key. They can either make a lot of things happen for you or sink you. I tended to lack said filter, however I am a little more calmer. Just don't ask me for my opinion and expect it to be tailored to what you want to hear.

Good luck to ya!

 

ReBoot: The Guardian Code's in production.
