renrenren3So my last update was about how my thesis advisor still hadn't got back to me with his comments to my finished thesis. He said he'd read it during the weekend so I waited all Monday and no word from him. On Tuesday I called his office all day but got no answer. Thesis is due, printed and signed by him, by Friday morning.
Today, panicking, I got on a train and waited outside his office because I knew he had classes from 9am to 11am. When I found him, he told me he was going out of town today and was leaving in ten minutes. Long story short, there was a misunderstanding. I don't even know how but he thought I hadn't sent him the final version yet and was waiting for it. I panicked even more when I realized I'd forgot my memory stick at home, but in the end he left with my thesis and promised to get back to me by tonight or tomorrow morning at most. Which is just as well, since I'll need to print the damn thing by tomorrow afternoon to deliver it in time.
He also didn't give me any template for the front page or the bibliography, so I went over to a friend who has a nicer advisor and copied hers. On the flipside she also made me lunch and we talked about Glee. (She was all "the two canaries are together now!" because apparently that's what she calls them and I was all "yeah, they are" but inside I was "AGSAHSGAHSGHAGSA; THEY'RE SO CUTE AREN'T THEY OMFG I LOVED THAT EPISODE!!1!1". Good times.)
Oh, and my thesis advisor also sent me an email a couple of hours ago saying that he'd like to see my presentation in advance, like, Friday morning. He never mentioned the presentation and I thought it meant I had the weekend to finish it. I wonder if I can finish it if I pull a couple of all-nighters, considering tomorrow I'll have to spend the afternoon printing the thing and chasing him around to get his signature.
Why so last minute, self. Why.
