Frustration

So I went to talk to my advisor today to clue him in on what is going on. He was not thrilled that I am leaving this week but seemed to deal. But then we went through the whole spiel all over again... I need to work more hours, I need to find something to work on that is better suited to my skills, I need to be reading journal articles and things all the time so that I can come up with a thesis topic. I am also supposed to sit in on random lab conversations all the time... how am I supposed to know they are happening? I am supposed to be psychic. Grad students are not supposed to have a life he says. Well his little genius boy in the lab didn't finish his thesis on time either. He took just as long as I am taking. And he only works 40 hours a week himself. So my advisor can kiss my ass right now. I promised to have this thing hammered out by the 8th which is going to be a miracle, and I am trying to read papers of straight linear algebra to get ready to write. ARGGGHHHHH!!!

Accentuate the Positive

Ok, so after that wallow in self-pity I offer this to the void.
I am thankful for having such great friends. You have all been there for me recently. Listened to my woes and given me hugs. Assured me that I am not a failure. Sent me little email messages and ims to cheer me up. I am lucky to have so many supportive friends.
Thanks for hanging out with me and rping and goofing off etc. Thanks for nose tag, and lunches out. Thanks for robo rally and titan. Thanks for going out dancing with me. Thanks for putting up with the miserable self I have been putting on recently.
I am grateful to be healthy. To have the chance to work out etc. I am lucky that I have money and a place to live.
I will try to accentuate the positive from now on.

btw

So you all know what started this bad mood...
my roomie took it upon herself to shut down my computer last night because she was convinced i had forgotten to. Cost me 8 hours of runtime.
