last day at uni
Many unremarkable things happened today. But just because I like to talk about my day....today was my last day at the Uni until July. Wow. Stressful trying to get everything done...but it's done. I may not get to look at the data for my lineup study until I get back, but hey, whatever. I don't think I care much.
My supervisor again wowed me with his unbelievable generosity: he said he would try and get some money for me for the summer, which he forgot about until this week...so he said he's just giving me some money (plenty), but that he can probably give me more when I get back. Seriously, he's too kind.
I mean, ok, I need to pay off my debt, but I guess I feel like I should be punished for my rather poor (though not absurd) spending habits. And I feel sorta bad too because I got a TAship and this money, and other people get none. Pluse I've applied for a bursary for people who need money...and while I do need money, I clearly feel as though I don't need/deserve it as much as others...
that said, I did discover the my student loan debt which I was so excited to discover was only $16000 is actually well over $30000....I missed counting a loan. How depressing. Anyway, the point is that my supervisor is really, really nice. And I know that he's being a great role model too because I'm always going to remember how much it meant to me that he helped me out.
And, my supervisor also submitted my annual report today. Part of the procedure is for me to review his comments and discuss them with him. The thing is is that he said nothing but nice things. Which is great...but so hard to hear. I mean I'm happy but I genuinely feel like I don't deserve it. The modesty monster strikes again. I guess...I don't know. Though I am happy to report that under "areas needing improvement" he clearly wrote "none". It's nice to hear that people think well of you, it's just hard to really believe I guess...
