Hey guys!
I'm so unbelievably angry and extremely anxious right now and there's no better place to rant than on LJ.
So...as my entire life is revolving around my thesis, this is no surprise about that. From the beginning: our honours co-ordinator is John Silke who is in a way kind of a part of my lab/kind of not. Confusing. Anyway, he doesn't give a damn about us and is the most disorganised person I have ever met and has freely said that he only took on this role because it looks good on a resume. So what, I don't care, he can do whatever he wants.
At the very beginning of the year we were told that our word limit on the thesis had increased to 14,000 words compared to all the previous years where there was only a 12,000 word limit because now figure legends were included in the word count. Everyone was happy with that. Until now, a;lskdjf ;alskdj f;alskdhf j. I'm sorry, that was me swearing.
Tonight. FIVE DAYS BEFORE THE THESIS IS DUE at a dinner we were all at the honours students were all getting confused at to whether the figure legends were included in the word count or not because one honour student David obviously wasn't listening at the beginning of the year and went up to John and they argued about it and for some stupid reason John agreed that figure legends weren't included in the word count becuase he has NO MEMORY!! So he didn't tell anyone until tonight. I had 11,000 words and I've finished my thesis. I was happy with that, everyone was happy with that, I was very succint and concise and only showed my positive results and left out about half my data because it didn't add anything to my thesis. Other people had shoved in absolutely everything and are over the limit. So now, without figure legends I'm only going to have 9,000 words which definitely is not enough. So I'm going to have to put in negative results and ramble on about crap. I've finished my thesis, I'm very happy with it and now I'm so incredibly pissed off that I have to redo it because retards can't keep within the word count.
I'm going to talk to John tomorrow but he doesn't care so I bet he won't change anything.
So I feel a lot better now and will try to relax but I don't think I'll sleep well tonight, I'm so ANGRY, people PISS ME OFF that they don't follow the rules and then change the rules to suit them. Grr...now I'm angry again.
Sorry for the rant guys...brief update on my life
1) A few days ago Inka got poisoned by someone/something she ate/we don't know and was incredibly sick. Now she's okay.
2) Keesha is going to need an operation on her foot.
3) Only three weeks of honours to go.
4) I'm going to apply for PhD and think I will do it.
5) I'm going camping at Phillip Island for a week with my uni friends after honours.
6) I'm still angry...
