The parents talk went as expected, the first couple of days were not great, a lot of drama, guilt and crap in general. Although I have to say that ever since those initial couple of days, things have been…good? Surprisingly good, actually. No drama, no guilt. Every time the topic has come up, they’ve mostly just been giving me advice on life in general. Amazing, right?
The project is coming along good-ishly, slightly concerned that I’ll run out of time before I get any results, but hopefully that won’t happen. I even have half of the thesis written and sent it in to Göran yesterday for review. I can’t really write anything about the results since that’s still in progress. I have however run into other issues with the project – my examiner decided to inform me, less than a month out, that he isn’t able to be my examiner because he has eye surgery in June. Gee, thanks, you could have informed me earlier. So, I told Göran about it in an email day before yesterday (because he’s hard to get a hold of at the office) but no response. Seriously, I need an answer, because I’m kinda trying to plan my life here. Knowing whether or not it’s still gonna be June 9 is a pretty big deal…
I really hate waiting. We were so close to reserving tickets on Monday but now this has happened and so it’s just a waiting game. If he would at least respond to my emails and let me know if I need to look for a new examiner myself or not! But nope, not a word now for three days or so. Either way, he checks his email at least once a day, typing up a quick reply doesn’t take more than a minute or two. He’s a very frustrating person to deal with.
Aside from that, everything else is mostly good. N isn’t home very much these days. Dog is not well – next week will probably be vet week. K is good although there’s still some weirdness on and off. I worry.
