fuck!

it took TWO WEEKS for iu to tell me that the person who is my sponsor for the project doesn't have the right rank. i KNOW she has the right rank, they did the same thing with the guy at columbia, she's the director of the program, for pete's sake, what higher rank could she have??? this is NOT going to work. plus that director is leaving on tuesday.... plus i can't do it online... so what? should i go to bloomington again on monday just for a damn signature and then it'd take them two more weeks to tell me that something else is not working with my protocol???? no pilot? i don't know. what's the point of it all anyway?

and of course they send me the email on friday at 4:52pm so there's nothing i can do until monday except CRY AND SCREAM AND HATE MY LIFE!!!!

Lots of love from across the ocean...

scott: she's the head of the TESOL department and retiring next year, also... it's a mistake, she called from her house tonight to tell me she'd call the irb on monday and either get this streightened out or find someone else for me.... she's very nice, that's one good thing. but it's still a lot of time and energy and money (travel, fedex, etc.) wasted!

... i guess you are... ok, i'm going back to my lit review then... gggrrrr, i hate to have friends that are such good examples ;)
At 7/15/2005 10:26 PM, kiara a dit:: I'm indeed in the lab, which doesn't mean that i'm a good example since (1) being at work 18 hours a day ISN'T a balanced life (uhuh, don't tell anyone i've admitted it !!), and (2) i'm here, but i'm not even working !!... ... ...
Glad that your sponsor called, and well, you know, keep going, you're doing very well :)
[need to rush to go to bed before the sunrise, summer in Scotland is just amazing !... ^_^]
