Return
Kenzie Kennedy
up (thank you john oliver and nightshade), I'm going to try again.
I've been missing for a while, so I'll sum up. It's my last year in
college and my courses got to be a little much. Public Speaking and
Business class at the same time, ugh. My fiance that I'd been with
for five years decided to break up with me two weeks before Christmas.
Details are available for the curious, but less than four months
later, he's married to another woman.
Kenzie accepts a drink from a passing orangutan and continues. But
I'm in the last stretch. Two classes left to take this summer and I
officially have my degree. I get to march across the stage in a few
days and accept my Bachelor of Science in Library Science and
Information Technology.
All in all, not too bad. My current story on fanfiction.net is into
the 2200's, I'm beginning to look for a job, and I'm much happier
without my ex-fiance around.

Eep. Sounds like you were well rid of him. {{{{HUGZ}}}}}

Huzzah! You might want to apply for a part time job in The
Library. The orangs could probably use another assistant
librarian.

<<Hugzz>> returned. It's amazing how much I've changed in the past
five years and I don't care for some of the changes I made because of
him. It's like waking up after a really long nap...

How about library assistant? Two more years of college to go before
that precious librarian degree is mine. And when I get it, I shall
shout 'huzzah'!

Welcome back. Have some wagon shaped fudge. I have one more year to go to
get my BA in Liberal studies. I thought about library science, but the
classes were too far away since I go to a branch campus and mostly do online
classes.

*munches happily on fudge* That's what I do. The University of Maine
at Augusta has the online bachelor's degree for library science. I
take all the other courses at another campus and take the online ones
from Augusta.

I'm sorry for the breakup, but it doesn't sound like he is
worth much anyway. At least you learned this BEFORE you got married.

It's amazing how that can happen.
I broke up with my fiance (8 years ago) in the middle of a 4AM
phone call (after a fight). He called the next morning, expecting me
to have woken up and thought "Oh no, why did I do that?" I woke up
thinking, "Why didn't I do that months ago?"

Thank you! Now, where did I put that stretching machine? I have
perhaps 3/4 of a page and I'm supposed to have four full pages on this
paper...

1) Double space
2) Use a lot of "and" and "the"
3) Use long quotes. When you indent them, they take up more lines

Also for slight stretching, try adjusting your font size by a very
small margin (like 10.5 instead of 10).
I've also found it helpful to try different fonts - some take up more
space than others without it being terribly noticeable (assuming your
papers aren't required to be in a specific font).
The ultimate trick (especially on longer papers) is to fudge the
margins by .1 inch. A tenth of an inch isn't a noticeable difference
to look at the page, but it'll stretch your paper out by a few extra
lines if you get to the 3 1/2 page mark and have nothing left to say
(for longer papers, you can get whole extra pages just by shifting the
top & bottom margins to 1.1 instead of 1 inch).

I am in Florida and go to University of Central Florida. They have some
humanities classes, engineering classes, and some off the wall classes
online. Everything else is face to face. They are slowly adding more
online and to the branch campuses, but my hubby wants me to graduate so he
can work on his Master's. We are taking turns and I will have had 3 years
to get my BA. I had an AA when I started. I think I have stretched it out
far enough. :)

Don't forget line spacing. I got a 55 page document to 50 pages once
just by spacing paragraphs 6 points instead of a full line, and
changing the line spacing to .97 instead of 1.

You actually had too much text? *shakes head* That would never happen
to me, I've dutifully noted all the nice tricks to expand length,
because, come this weekend, I'll probably desperately need them. My
M.A. dissertation is entering the finishing stage and I sincerely
doubt I'll manage the required 60-80 pages without help.

My problem isn't exactly something that can be fixed by these, even
though I'm making notes, too. It's a history paper on the local
historical society. There just isn't a lot of history since it was
founded about twenty-four years ago. I've got some notes from an
interview, a pamphlet, and their website. I think instead of a lot of
history, my teacher's going to get what's going on now. At least it
will become history.

...and if the context makes them appropriate, use lots of section
headers. They typically need at least two spaces above and one
below, so you get an extra three lines.

I work for the government. People around here can (and do) blither on
for page after page saying ... something i'm sure. Unfortunately
no-one's ever found out because even a bureaucrat can only read 20 or
so pages without falling asleep.

My Master's thesis in the early 1970s didn't have any specific size
requirement, but it wound up being perhaps 150 pages or so (I have
*no* idea where my copy is) -- but a good part of that was program
listings. (The title was "A Sequential Circuit Simulator" -- and I
had the advantage that nobody on my committee was a programmer.)
