catscradle Feb. 7th, 2003 07:18 pm)I left work at 3 today to talk with my graduate advisor on my thesis paper. And I forgot it was our assistant dean's birthday party at 2, so I ended up having to work my ass off to finish a report that was due today and get all the registrations the students were calling in last minute processed. But i ended up finishing it all (just barely) and dashing off to get to my appointment on time.
So I'm pitching my thesis topic to my advisor and she's smiling and getting all excited. I was worried it would get shot down, but she was absolutely thrilled with it! So now comes the task of pitching it to my thesis advisors (whom I've just choesen with her aid - though I kinda always knew who they would be). But she thinks that they'll love to work with it and told me she'd be willing to help where she can (though her field is hinduism/buddhism and the religions of South East Asia - which isn't mt field at all - but she great at proof reading, so I guess that's something. . .)
So for the first time in quite a while I'm feeling energized to research and write this thesis. I guess what I really needed to hear was some positive support behind it. When you look at something closely for so long, you sometimes lose objectivity and just get drained on it. . . It really helps when you hear that all that work isn't for naught and is, in fact, good.
