Just to update a previous matter… the other shoe dropped.
I don’t know what that means, but I think it refers to the regretfully expected has occured.
My advisor sat me down and had a talk with me. She basically figured out my portion of the evaluation, and denied and disagreed with what I said. I thought me telling her I needed time off was akward, but compared to this, it wasen’t that akward, because this was one of the most awkward things EVER.
She wasen’t mean, at least. She did say we should “wipe the slate clean” and “start over.” We’ll see about that. This was supposed to be annonymous, and her cornering me like that was wrong in my mind. I hate her even more now, if that was possible. Good-bye Cari, hello teaching!
Next semester, I am taking 6 credits of geology and 6 of teaching. I have to decide if I even want to take my advisor’s Seismic and Sequence Strat class. It’ll be useful, but I just don’t like her. I’ll probably take it.
In better news… I just ordered a new wallet. Here’s a pic of what I got:

OUCH. Wow, yeah, I don’t know about that sed class… Funny wallet though!
what a bitch. I hope she is run off campus by a horde of torch-carrying students.
Hmm…weren’t you in PAIN after wearing your backpack? Mine weighs 2 pounds.
Perhaps we will have to turn this into a competition. Something American Gladiators style?
Eek. See, at the undergraduate level, I’d tell you to go talk to the chair of your department and tell him/her that you felt that your interaction with your advisor was “inappropriat”. At the graduate level, you may just be screwed. I would add to killergeologist also “pitchforks” in addition to the torches….
dude… that sucks… NOT cool about the cornering…..i wouldn’t want to take her class…. scary!
dude… so sorry. i wouldn’t take her class. if you want to go into teaching take the education courses instead and make a clean break. just my two cents.
Hey I know a newly single girl down here that may be perfect for Cari…..
That’s fucked up man. Seriously. And for you to hate something…man…i cant let you take that path…allow me. Let me and my cronies (my legion of hamsters and dog poe) rough her up. She’ll be swimming with the fishies as soon as you let your other fist slam on the desk.
I’ll never again see “anonymous” the same again. But, man…DENY DENY DENY…that’s how we as boys were raised to be…”I didnt do it”. HEH HEH HEH, you know where that’s from right?
Okay, you win with the heavier pack. I suppose an extra 3.5 pounds on an EMPTY pack is a good thing! Geez…
Say that she touched you in the “bad spot” and threaten to sue unless she signs off on you PhD now.
Oh no you didn’t order that wallet, Maaa…
What a craptastic thing to do to call you out like that after you honestly answered an anonymous survey of her skills. She really doesn’t know how to accept criticism. Are your program advisor options either her or no one? Can you still switch to someone else there or transfer schools and keep your standing or does it not work like that?
*hug* :-
To answer that Q: It is pretty much her or no one at Utah. I am 100% taking time off, and there is always a chance I could continue here or somewhere else in the future. But as of now, it’s on to M.A. in teaching.
Shut yo mouth!
Sweet looking wallet though, man. But, that sucks that your professor called you out for your “anonymous” evaluation. Luckily, that’s never happened to me.
You know that Lawrence is like my most favorite place in the US that I haven’t been right? Since you know, the get up kids live there. And so do the new ams. And um… yeah… I’ll definitely check them out! Thanks for the tip!
I’m definitely with you on UCLA and Stanford. I was fortunate to go on the campus of Stanford years ago for a wedding. I was definitely impressed. But you, Chris, and the rest of your geology pals went to a great looking campus in UCLA. I felt like a hick when I stepped on campus with my Long Beach State education.
If you’re discussing prettiest schools, I’ll have to say Stanford is only #2. Cause Santa Barbara City College is #1.
eid is the big holiday at the end of ramadan (fasting month)… get presents kind of like xmas.
