Re
The PhD – Research Degree Program I have embarked upon. I have reluctantly
applied to be suspended from studies - Suspending – means you are
temporarily absent from your course. You have not left and are
still classed as a student. One is in
limbo.
Currently,
I am left hanging, waiting to find out if I can be left hanging. If allowed to
be suspended, I shall still be attached. That is to keep me from falling;
although, I will be allowed free movement. I will of course refrain from
forming any conclusions, or concluding in any way. Indeed, being suspended I am
kept from sinking to the floor to avoid forming a deposit. There may be some
leakage and perhaps some staining may result, but nothing that could be
quantified as a substance, not even of any kind.
My
mind is baffled. It is perplexed about a number of things. It is not something
I can put my finger on.
‘Non
riesco a individuarlo con precision’ as the Italian might say. A very literal
translation would be that one “cannot succeed in individualising with
precision”. Or perhaps as Marcellus says to Horatio in the following dialogue:
Horatio:
“…To what issue will this come?”
Marcellus
“Something is rotten in the State of Denmark”
Horatio
“Heaven will direct it”
Marcellus.
“ Nay, let’s follow him”
Clearly
heaven will not disclose ‘the thing’ I cannot put a finger on, nor is there any
Hamlet to follow; although, following one of the most accomplished ditherers
around is perhaps not the best plan. So I dither solo.
I am
decidedly full of althoughs, perhapses and ifs.
I
searched the word 'baffle' on You tube. What is Fox News?
