Spring break is over, which means that in addition to heading back to class, I'm going to try to confront the RU administration one more time in a sort of "last stand" to try and work things out. I doubt that I'll be successful, but I know that if I don't at least try I'm just going to be aggravated and upset if I find out there's something else I could have done. The sentiment expressed in the Motion City Soundtrack song "Can't Finish What You Started" probably best stands up my present feelings about the situation, though;
I thought of all the things I'd like to say
Cramped up and couldn't write a word all day
I'm just waiting for my world to fall apart
That's why I'll never finish anything I start
Hey, what's up with RU? Depending on what's wrong, there is usually some way to get around problems or get them worked out to your satisfaction. Try talking to a dean or someone high up in your department. Through four years, I had lots of problems there, but overall I think I was able to "win" almost every challenge they threw at me.
Good luck in your "last stand." Although perhaps you might try a different metaphor. It seems like historically, the people who fight a last stand do not make it out alive....
