disertation woes
So, since I am in my final year of my bachelor I have to write a dissertation. And it turned out to be a lot more work then I had thought it would be.
The deadline had been the first of June, which is a week from now, and the only way I could have made that is if I ditched the two exams I also have to do (one of which I have to do tonight. Human Rights and the Multicultural Problem.) and locked myself behind my computer.
So with an heavy heart I email my coach, who is 'helping' me write this thing. And with helping I mean he gave me a deadline then send me on my way. I wrote this long apology on why I couldn't make it in time and how I want to write the best paper I can and more ass kissing and groveling.
So today I finally get a mail back. The fact that it took him a couple of days to type this does not bode well. What if it's a big mean email calling me a failure? I open hotmail high on nerves, take a deep breath, I even make the sign of the cross. I open the email and what does it read?
sure, june 8 is fine.
later
Thanks coach for these warm words of encouragement, I'll get right on it. I shouldn't be surprised, because professionalism is kinda lost on my university (I got drunk with the Dean last Thursday at a party and he gave us tips on how to woe men) but it would have been nice if he had at least tried to capitalize things and acknowledge some of the things in my mail.
Ah well. Now I am back to writing about the US torture policies.
