Summer

This must be the most used post title in the present days... actually this and "The end of the Summer". Finally, August is over and the time to start again at cruise speed with all the duties is here. Tomorrow, September 1st., it will be the time to get all the ToDos that we step aside in July and retake them to see that they are not yet over.
For me August was pretended to be a prolific month where I could advance in my work for the MSc. Thesis, but unfortunately it has turned to be a demanding time from my work in order to get along with all the duties from the different customers. Anyhow, some work could be done and I have advanced in the preparation of a paper on the sources used for my work. Moreover, I had the opportunity to read some books interesting for my work in the Thesis and in G&D.
Hope soon to get at this cruise speed and get on with the hot fall that comes along!!

UOC revisited

Some days ago I wrote about the UOC, this Open University that inspires me and leads me to get my MSc. in Knowledge and Information Society. I must say that I was totally wrong. What I interpreted from my tutor explanations and what he really meant had nothing to do. I thought as the university realized that a 12 week period for developing a MSc. Thesis work was to short time to do it when working full time and because that they gave us the opportunity to finish the thesis in a longer period without having to enroll again and pay the tuition fee.

I was wrong as I said. Not only I have to pay again the tuition fee but I have not been able to enroll and keep the access to the restricted contents of the library... really sad. Luckily I am member of the Old Students of the University of Barcelona, where I studied my degree in physics, and keep the access to the materials of this library.

So, after a year and a half of moderate satisfaction with the UOC, I am really disappointed because they bad way to manage this issue.
