I thought it was really interesting, and you explained topics that can get real confusing, real quick to an oustide audience with precision.

Thank you so much! I'm loving all the positive feedback. I was kinda nervous about posting it out there for everyone to read. We have such wonderful writers here.

Poptarts.

Earlier today I sent this e-mail to my psych professor:

I just wanted to touch base with you and see if we could schedule a time to meet on Wednesday. I have class during your office hours. I am available before 9:30, from 10:30-12:30 and then again after 2:45.

If we're not able to find a time to meet, maybe we could try to go over things over e-mail. I would like talk to you about the first part of our research project and also find out the exam questions I missed.

Now. I should point out that I specifically asked to see her on Wednesday, and the first part of our research project is due on Friday...one of the reasons I'd like to meet with her before Friday. This was her response:

How about Monday at 9AM?

I don't even know how to respond to her.

How about something like, "Is there any way we could meet or exchange emails, before then? I need to touch base with you prior to Friday's deadline for the first part of the research project."

Is this one of those situations where I thought I was clear, but really I wasn't, so I actually don't have anything to be bitching about?

There must be some ideal body for carrying a pregnancy. It's just I've never met anyone who had it.

t raises hand I never had trouble with stomach capacity, and Annabel never impinged upon my ribs. I could tie my own shoes without difficulty the morning we left for the hospital for my induction. And while my bladder did get compressed a bit, I don't think I had it as bad as most women. But I think I made up for it on the labor end.

No, you were clear, vw. She just didn't pay attention to what she read.

I don't know, because I don't know what you wrote, but I bet not. My guess is she read your note quickly and didn't concentrate on what you were asking. Maybe you can send her back a one liner--something like I suggested, and restate your availbitity between now and Friday.

Yeah. I tend toward this a lot. Fortunately I often re-read stuff before clicking send. But not always.

Howdy. It's going to be One of Those Weeks. it's 8:15pm, and I'm ready to crawl into bed. I got home from work not long ago.

My worksheet is done, and contains critical thinking questions, so I don't feel too "bad teacher-y" over it.

I can now save and collapse into bed at will without guilt.

On a more positive note, I wore my "serious professional" outfit today for my evaluation (which I got an "Excellent" on, and I also got 100% on my midterm eval by my mentor teacher, yeah me) and I've lost enough weight that a formely well-fitting pants and tailored shirt combo was baggy and shapeless.

Which is yeah! but also boo! cause, dammit, that's my interview shirt, and it totally fits like saggy ass now.

No, VW, sounds like you just need to respond with a "see, I wanted to see you before Friday? Before the project?" ("Did you not read my email?") thing...

There must be some ideal body for carrying a pregnancy. It's just I've never met anyone who had it.

I think Flea really liked being pregnant, or something.

I am BORED. Also, just spent way too much money on car insurance. DAMN. Shit's expensive. And I still feel like if I actually got into an accident, I'd be screwed. I hate that feeling.

However. BORED. And it's not even 8:30 yet. This is why I do not work early--I get home and there's nothing to do! (They let us out at 3pm today because of the snow, I got home at 4:15, read my email and LJ and here, and...then I didn't have much to do, unless I wanted to do laundry. Which I don't. Hmph. (But I didn't want to go DO anything, because of the snow, and the fact that I'm going out tomorrow and Wednesday). I am not good at entertaining myself unless there are books I have not read, nearby.
