So I have a cold courtesy of the bf. But I guess I can suffer through it since it gets me sympathy from him .
My advisor is being more than an asshole... I don't want to get into it but he still thinks that this thesis trouble is all my fault and that I am the one who is not on track. He tells me I should have come to him more with problems. What the fuck? Everytime I did he told me to talk to the post doc or to do a presentation. Actions speak louder than words dick. I would have come to him more if he had ever been helpful and nice. And now he acts like everything is my fault. I'm supposed to bug him everyday and not disappear to do work. Well the truth is everyday I did not have things to bug him with. The code runs slow. Progress is slow. Deal with it.
What I hate about meeting with him is he gets me to believe its all my fault. I leave feeling drained and embarrassed. But it can't be my fault. I did fine working for the USGS and to be honest most people think he is a really shitty advisor.
So now I am looking into transferring into the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute joint program with MIT and doing marine geophysics. The environment there is much better I think. Its kinda a rash decision but there are few options for new advisors at MIT. Pretty much just two. And one of them doesn't do anything that interests me.
On a side note... e-stim is a miracle thing. My leg is already doing so much better.
If only I could have managed to keep my wallet. Sigh.
And the only thing keeping me sane is that last night I called my man at the last minute and we got take out and watched my cousin vinnie. It was great.
