<--did w/o today
<--did LIC upper body plus abs
<--forgot how fun that w/o is
<--is actually feeling a lot better
<--is working on dissertation drama
<--will leave <--speak for a moment:
Basically, my advisor doesn't think that using a general sample is good enough to be a good addition to the literature and she wanted me to make it more specific so she REJECTED my present study, potentially making me start from scratch with a new topic and have to do all new research! I was looking at whether or not people who own pets will score higher on a measure of overall well-being than those who do not own pets. She feels like that is a "been there, done that" study and there would be nothing new to add. Not really, since most of the literature is from the early 90's and the results are very conflicting. Well, not good enough. So, after speaking to her last night, she suggested that since I work in a school and can use teachers, why not have my sample consist of teachers (um, because I don't want to). So, I had to go and find literature on teachers' well-being, motional states, stress levels, etc. then defend why I would want to study teachers (I don't). The good part is I can still use all my research on pets and it is basically the same study with the same methodology, just using a more specific sample. It's not what I want to do, but if my advisor doesn't approve my study, I can't do it and will never get my doctorate. I think she wants me to do something that has never been done. Fine. Whatever. Just give me my %^&* doctorate! I am very frustrated that it has been left until now because I sent her my methodology form months ago (twice) and she said she never got it (but she got my email asking her about my form and whether she approved it or not). So, I had to email it to her again just recently and that is when the drama started. Now, I am way behind because my form was supposed to be approved and I was already supposed to have my proposal approved. I have written my proposal but she can't approve it until she approves my form which I just sent to her again today after I revised it. I am behind which means I may have to register for a "continuation class" that will cost me an extra $2200!!! I think that is the part I am most angry about. If it was MY fault and I hadn't turned things in on time, then fine, but saying she didn't get TWO emails?!?! Yet, she gets all my other emails? I checked and it said they were sent. Hmmmm. So, that's my drama. Hopefully, she will bust her a$$ to get my form and proposal approved before the next semester.

<--apologized PROFUSELY for the completely self-absorbed post
<--had to vent and share with my buds
<--thinks a hex is definitely in order
 
<---thinks Lorie's advisor needs a good kick in the arse
<---is really ticked off at the way she has handled of this (the advisor)
<---wishes she could help :(
