I didn't go so well

[frualeydis]

And now I feel very down and very anti-social.

Edited: Just to make it clear: He was very nice and we had a very nice talk for four hours and some of his concerns are very valid. I think that's what's bothering me most. And I just feel like it's all crap right now. Hopefully my mentor can get me to see things more positively tomorrow. Now I just fell like there's no point in finishing this.

Poo! He may not see your brilliance, but others do.

Poor dear. Hugs.

If it helps, I asked Ninya about french hood veils. There are written references to black velvet and black silk. So you can use either. As long as its black!

i send my warmest *hugs* from over here too.

5 years ago i had to comfort my old boy friend over the phone (in the middle of the night for me, as i was in the US) after he had had a similar meeting with what i guess might be the very same professor. however, i hope you got off better than he did though.

and also, do let us know if there by any chance is anything we could do for you to make you happier...

I'm sorry, Eva. I know what it's like to have your work critiqued. I hope you start feeling better soon.

sorry, that was me.

I know you must feel terrible, but don't lose heart. There are a lot of people on your side out here! I know this is poor comfort right now, but try and see his advice as indications on how to make your dissertation even *better*. A brilliant woman like you! Go blow them away!

I'm very sorry to hear that you felt it didn't go well. But, of course he was going to find *some things* to criticize. That's his job. Try not to take it as personal criticism, if you can, and see the valuable information that he is offering to try to make it, and you, better. It will hopefully seem less painful for you, tomorrow or the day after. Step back from it a bit, and then come back at it with a fresh mind and an open heart.

There are many, many people here who think very, very highly of you and your skill set. And we all have great faith in you, and want you to know that you are loved, admired, and respected.

Not much one can do from 6,000 miles away but to send you massive hugs...and much empathy. If I were nearer, I'd offer you a nice hot cup of tea and some fresh home made biscuits.
