Almost done with master's degree, but...

AAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was just informed that I have to register for one more semester of this research credit, so I won't officially graduate until December instead of August!!!
I finished the bleeping research summary last bleeping weekend, & I'll be done with the rest of the bleeping master's portfolio by Monday!!! It's not due until next bleeping Friday!!!

THIS IS JUST BECAUSE MY BLEEPING ADVISORS CAN'T BE BLEEPING BOTHERED TO TAKE THE TWO BLEEPING HOURS IT WOULD REQUIRE TO GO OVER MY BLEEPING WORK & BLEEPING APPROVE IT!!!

SO I HAVE TO SPEND ANOTHER $500 BLEEPING DOLLARS TO DO BLEEPING NOTHING FOR THE NEXT FOUR BLEEPING MONTHS, EXCEPT MAYBE ONE OR TWO BLEEPING DAYS WORTH OF MINOR REVISIONS.
NOW I ALSO CAN'T SAY I'M A MASTER ON BLEEPING RESUMES UNTIL BLEEPING DECEMBER EITHER.


The only good news in all of this is that the extra credit might--MIGHT, mind you--bump off my student loan payments for another four months.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

My wife joked that I should call her "master" after she got her Masters of Engineering. I told her the feminine form is "mistress" and she got mad.

Have you tried calling them and yelling at them?

Yeah, I'd seriously push to have this reconsidered. Sounds like a BS money grab.

Okay, well, it turns out to only be $300 dollars, but still, man.
