Oh, those eccentric academics.

Today is my first day back at uni. I have completely failed to do ANYTHING on my project, because I can't find a damn thing in the subject area I want. Which is a bit panic-inducing. But never mind.

I have a feeling she didn't realise the implication of that statement until she said it, and may have been trying to backpedal/soften the blow a bit with her thanks. Or possibly she *still* didn't realise even then! As I said, she's maddeningly vague.

Surely her responsibility to let everyone know, not yours. Sounds like she was put off guard that she cocked up and was not thinking straight in her response to you. Have ordered the necessary for your cake!

[friend_of_tofu]

I hate Blackboard.
