This is just me ranting at the void, basically.
SO. Finally seeing an orthopedist on Wednesday. Saw a GP today who is training a baby doctor, and apparently, my left knee actually looks different than my right knee when moving around. Yay. Of course, the x-rays are completely normal, just the like the x-rays from March. However, the orthopedists at the clinic are first come, first serve, so I have to get there early.
Also, I’m back to waking up with migraines, even though I got a new splint for my jaw thing. The pain in my jaw itself goes away about an hour after I get up, but I’m still miserable for the rest of the day.
One of my classes has a major group project that’s basically a mini-thesis. This is a class you’re supposed to take in your first year of grad school. My advisor never mentioned that. Everything we’re learning? I learned the hard way. It’s hard to find motivation when I’m bitter and annoyed.
And to top everything off, my advisor is once again ignoring me. I’ve sent three emails (the third today) asking for a meeting so we can discuss one of the chapters of my thesis. We were supposed to meet last week, so I sent an email the week before. Then another last week. I finally texted her assistant, who I’ve had multiple classes with, and she suggested stopping by the office. Which I did last week and absolutely NO ONE was there, including all of the suitemates. So she then suggested sending another email because my advisor’s time is limited on campus.
Which is fucking A, isn’t it?
And in my other class, my final project is going to be another chapter of my thesis, and when I went over what I’m planning to do with the professor, she had all these revisions, so it’s another shit-ton of work that MY ADVISOR NEVER MENTIONED. But when the prof learned who my advisor is, she was like, “Oh, yeah, she’s awesome!”
Why is it that everyone else thinks this woman is amazing and I’m just over here, feeling like. Like shit. I’m not important. But when I’m actually in front of her, she’s all excited and so glad to see what I’ve done, and everything’s lovely. Is it out of sight, out of mind?
