Kurrs' Digital Tapestry of Words

So, my panicked soul is put mostly to rest. I now have an ultimatum, which are always scary, but at least I'm pretty sure I know what's going on. The hit to my grades in the autumn of 2004 wasn't acceptable for my continued existence in the honours program. The Honours supervisor told me as much and said she expected my grades to improve this semester. This was freaky/weird because that's a scary thing to hear and I'm not really taking any courses this year. Just my thesis, Economics of Renewable Resources, and some classes for being full time and having access to juicy burseries (juuiiiicccyyyy).

Now, I assumed she just didn't notice that this is my fifth year and I'm basically done, so I wanted to talk to her. Thankfully, she seems to have noticed this on her own and sent me another e-mail. Her beef is primarily with my performance in 325/326, which I won't even begin to argue I didn't do well in. Fair is fair, she told me if I want my Honours degree I have to take 425 (which is the fourth year Econometrics class) in January and get over an 80 in it.

While ultimatums terrify me, this is very very even handed. The prof is different, so it holds constant any personality conflict I may have had with the one that taught 325/326 but still tests me on material that I should know well coming out of an Honours Economics degree.

I'm pretty sure that's it, with the added caveat that I do well in Renewable Resources. I'm going to talk to her tomorrow to double check I follow all her meaning, but I'm feeling alot better about the whole thing. Not great, but safe.

I'm heading to Wreck at 4pm with Beth if anyone would like to join us, they're welcome. Tonight I'll be at the Brickyard for free pool and cheap liquor.
