sorry to pry, but what did they do? TAs are such buttheads sometimes
And even in my own lab, the grad student (Ei-tan...I put the dash in there in case he googles his name and finds this) treats me like I'm entirely ignorant, but at least he doesn't treat me like I shouldn't be there, the way this other guy does. And he does help me a lot. But one time I did mention how mean the other guy was, and Ei-tan was sympathetic and he and another guy in my lab said this guy who's so awful to me is insignificant in the grad student body. And I told my mother and she said he must be a bully, but he's like 25- how can you be a bully at 25???!! And he's supposed to be getting his PhD- why is he bothering me instead of focusing on his own degree?
Nominally, of course, it's all professors' labs. But the reality is that professors don't do much; it's the grad students who do all the research. So they have no idea, and I'm not about to look like a child and tell them about this; I need to save face in front of them. And Ei-tan is in Chicago right now, using the lab facilities there. I don't know what to do...I didn't respond to his email, and now I'm locked out with stuff due in 2 weeks...
And there are almost no females in the entire department- and everyone is so intimidating.
sorry- that was entirely too much information.
- You don't know how hard it is not to stalk you, ok? Give me a break. It's nothing you haven't done
in unrelated news.
yikes. i like you. aaaand, that freaks me out. i shouldn't like you, i realllllyyyyy shouldn't. but you're a good guy. and you're funny, smart, and talented. man. you used to be off limits so it was easy not to really "like" you but just admire from afar... now you aren't. bad bad bad.
- I don't care if it's unprofessional - you are one of the most awesome people I have ever met and I adore you. One day, we'll go to a Dawkins lecture together, when I'm not your student anymore and none of that matters, lol. Thank you for being an inspiration.
man some people like to walk over shy people in every i guess... i know the feeling... sorry about your predicament.
Katie, I really appreciate that. You're so awesome! I'd glandly return the favor- let me know if there's anyone that needs *ahem* handling.
LOL, I am so going to start referring to people as a wanker now.
So, well, I sent him an email asking to reinstate my access. He said that since I did not reply to his message, I got my access taken away. Which is maddening, because his message only said, basically, "everyone hates you" (well, it said everyone was complaining about me) and what am I supposed to relpy to that? Nowhere did his message say "reply to this or I will completely lock you out."
So I just went face-to-face and begged for my access back. I hate the fact that confrontation always seems to make me start crying, and I reeeeally tried here not to be the stupid girl who cries. But my voice was all shaky and my eyes watered and I know I looked really stupid. But oh well, I got my access back.
Haha, "tosser" is another one. And wankpot and tosspot are two of my favourite variations.
Oh yes. I turn swearing into an art.
Well done for getting your access back love!
So don't treat me like a specimen. Don't ask me to "share my culture" with you because, again, just to let you know, I'm American, my culture is the same as yours.
Oh, and you're sorta kinda really unattractive. and I only noticed that haircut because it was ugly.
also.
you really want to help me re-string my guitar??
*sigh*
No, like I said, in the real world, professors don't do much- the grad students and postdocs do most of the actual research and the professors take the credit and publish. That isn't new- even the man who discovered the electron actually paid countrywomen to do the actual work. And that isn't just in science either: my history teacher in high school told us how she researched and found every record of a certain kind of WWII airplane, and her professor took all the credit.
Anyway, my point is, professors aren't really around and they don't play grown-up; I need to save face in front of them and treat them as Corporate Boss, not Teacher. So, the grad students form their own little hierarchies.
Cause I can dish it out, but I can't take it.
sums up alot at the moment
its been a while hasnt it
i really miss you guys and i feel bad for not being on in so many months
ive just been really busy

im currently home early from school studying for the act lol so ive got some spare time and im gona make more time for u guys <3 <3
so does anyone care to inform me of what ive missed since september?
Is tosser a word I could say around my mom? How about wanker?
Just wanted to know, because I'm really tempted to add them to my vocabulary.
