AAARRRRGHHGHGHGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!1
I hate delays. I hate when my efforts are interpreted as 'worrying' because they didn't take me longer.
Go on, let it all out...
:-)
OK. I spend the past three weeks working my guts out on revisions. I emailed the revisions last Friday, but now the powers that be won't give me feedback on the next bit. Because they are worried that I might have done a crap job because I worked my @rse off and got it all done in the said three weeks. Am I being paranoid, or just oversensitive to words such as 'worried'?
Also, I think I have an infection in one of my eyelids, and will have to show up at the uni health clinic at 8am tomorrow.
ARGH!!!
(do snails have shoulders?)
(looked a bit nasty otherwise)
Hilde, they WANT you to be paranoid. It's all part of their strategy, their petty mind games...
You have to rise above it, and just tell them that obviously they don't come across people of your calibre very often... (actually, be v careful whom you tell - I did that once and it backfired VERY badly. It was a real effort to get out of that hole!)
with gossip
he didnt even ASK about the thesis
mind you, he knows of ny work situsation
i have confessed all now
been following, if not contributing...
hope all theses going well, and sorry to hear about supervisor troubles - having some myself this morning and hildegard, i can assure that having a good cry (particularly in from of the whole research group - garners great support and offers to read drafts, etc) really helps. doesn't bring the supervisor back from multiple holidays, or convince him to meet and give you his full attention for even 5 minutes, but hey, you can't have everything.
good luck everyone...
Clarence, what is your subject?
have you read Collingwood? The Idea of History. Quoted in Kahrl on medieval drama.
A bit outdated now, but a seminal work at the time (and, I'm arguing, a major influence on the subject of my thesis - but I'm having to prove it by showing that various friends of the poet were members of the Royal Historical Society and were in the habit of circulating pamphlets amongst themselves, cos my poet didn't own the book!!!). Anyway, some interesting stuff on history and medieval literature.
Clarence Kid - surely your conclusion would be 'good for camels'?!
Snail, no I haven't read Collingwood. Spent loads of time reading French feminist theory, and its offshoots, instead.
It's prob too late to be of real use to you, but if you're looking at historiography at all, you might want to be aware of Collingwood as he's so widely quoted elsewhere. I doubt there's anything in it that you won't have picked up/included already, but the part on medieval lit wouldn't take too long to read - I read the whole book in about 3 hours, it's a series of lectures.
Just been told our server's being rebooted at 5.30 so no outlook for 30 minutes. B*gger that, I'm off home!!!! yipppeeeeeee!
Am I allowed 2, please, Chimpy? I've finished the first one already...
snail - don't think there were any camels about that long ago, but worth considering - i'll look into it.
hildegard - yup, went out to the u.a.e. twice, but that was so long ago i've forgotted what a sand dune looks like. trying to submit by christmas (there, i've said it, argh) so it's all data analysis and bullsh*tting about dodgy results now. moan.
You're the Earl Grey arent you, Snail? Go on, have two. Just make sure there's enough for Hilde and Clarence.
I'm off to Asda tonight (gin for benz) I'll stock up.
Dig in, Clarence, Hilde.
Snail, I shall definitely have a look for the Collingwood then, if only to footnote it.
CK, submitting by Xmas eh? I wanted to submit by October. Hahahahhhaa!!
sorry
i will do some tomorrow i promise
