It sucks
Now, I am not going into details but today I had a very unfortunate epiphany while at the meeting: stupidity DO indeed exists and I had proof around me. And it was confirmed by someone else who is a prof that attended the meeting with me.
I couldn't believe what was said nor what the projects are. Someone has to tell me how you can build a research center if in the meanwhile the students that are supposed to attend this center won't even be there any more......
And I have to learn how to deal with frustration. Some things were said that were borderline offensive (students aren't there because the program isn't interesting: hey my dear, would you like to work your butt out as I did in the last couple of years when I couldn't even get a copy of a document done?????? do you want to teach the 100th and more students I teach and then, and only then, say anything about classes not interesting? As far as I am concerned, even if it was meant for the programs, I was truly offended, and as far as I am concerned I have evaluations of 4.0 out of 4.0) and I did reply and underlined that this is all wrong. After that I had this knot in my throat and in my stomach. I was so pissed off that after that I had to go into the washroom to cry to get it out (I had a personal appointment with a professor right after and I didn't want to burst into tears).
And what pissed me off the most was that Advisor was there and She kept her mouth shut all the time.
Nice day, really.....
