- 16:33 Intl. Student Coordinator says: I'll discuss this matter further with x after which it is decided whether you can go or not. D: !!!!!
- 16:50 "whether you can go or not"... I just... *cries*
- 17:56 My mind is full of the worst case scenario for my internship (i.e. cancellation). I can do right now is stare into space and wibble.
- 17:59 Decision time: go to gym for class, or bathroom for crying session? *head!desk into tear!puddle*
- 20:06 I has wine, pre-fab food, chocolate and a sane mother who thinks university lady's an insane alarmist. <3
- 00:02 Going to watch Heroes. Mohinder? Don't make me hate you. Sylar? Strut and make my day 10000 times better.

Date: 2008-11-12 10:31 am (UTC)I am writting this from my feildwork in Rio. I got approval to do this 2 month trip 24 HOURS BEFORE DEPARTURE from my own couple metaphorical puppy killers. Again, safety was a key issue (as well as why go at all My response: um? Remember thats how you bribed me to do a phd? I can't study brazil from toronto!)
There will be lots of tears. Probably more anger and frustration, but IT WILL WORK OUT. management type people who don't spend time in the feild just don't get why you would want to "endanger" yourself. Or that you understand its unreasonable to walk around in all your glitter through a shanty town with a purse full of cash. Propably cause it hadn't occured to them not to.
I think this internship if freaking awesome, btw. AWESOME! Damn, you make me want to do proper biology again.
