A new girl appears to have moved into the room next to me. This morning I saw her in the kitchen and stared at her as I thought she'd randomly started using our kitchen. Then later I saw her go in the room.

Maybe I should say hi :yep:
A pretty bad couple of supervisions. To be expected, I suppose, but I'm still really unsure where it leaves me. :hmpf: :frown:

I suppose so. Still, I'm left feeling a general sort of "down" :sigh: But I'm not sure how I should continue, especially regarding the quality of my work. I keep missing the point of an essay question, or missing key bits of a maths problem.

Definitely say hi to your new neighbour!

My supervisors are the kind that go ''oh I'm not giving you a mark for this, I see it as more of a constructive experience'' so we can't really have a bad supervision because they don't really focus on the grade you're working at. Quite good I suppose as we don't get that :frown: feeling but terrible in a way as you could be going along the wrong tracks and thinking it's okay :s-smilie:
I've quite liked the supervisions working as teaching exercises and not assessments. It's meant I'm not afraid to just spew nonsense, or to ask stupid questions about things I don't properly understand.

I I keep missing the point of an essay question, or missing key bits of a maths problem.

The entirety of my first year was a bit like this. It only clicked into place in second year.
My essays also seem to have no point...

I think it's because I'm just trying to get everything that I know down.

You mean you didn't? :p: Random person in your kitchen and you just...stared...without saying hi? You've probably terrified her! :eek:

Well the other day I walked in and thought I'd gone in the wrong kitchen-it turned out the people from down the corridor's kitchen was full so they'd moved into ours. I was trying to protect my territory!

I just had a visit from someone on my corridor :eek3: she wanted me to sing but I refused.

So the idea was to be an Education academic? Ugh, definitely not for me but each to their own. :smile:


What you thought that I actually wanted to teach?!

In other news sociology (of education) is crap, I don't care about social theorists, and Caius doesn't have a copy of Emile. Gerrrrr

Huh... I do that all the time. And seeing as the random people in the kitchen are usually from one of my staircase mates' parties, and are usually fairly regular visitors, that is generally the intent. The scarier I am, the more they'll second guess making all that noise right outside my door :awesome:

Thanks for specifying :biggrin: You should come to some real Sociology lecturers and get taught by the best :yes: (that's not meant to sound rich - they are, outside of the US)
