how nice of him to return my emails....

So, annoyed with my reader for the thesis project and him not getting back to me, I send, with Fly Girl's proofreading so I don't sound bitchy, this email, on APril 18th:

The time is running short and the countdown is beginning to graduation. With all due respect, I have had to move ahead with my project. I sent it to many different former professors in ----------------- for feedback and they were quite helpful. Although I am still awaiting your feedback, which I would really prefer to have versus former social work professors, the paper you have is very outdated at this point and furthermore, the woman doing the layout and publishing needs the final copy in NY by Friday. The project (the actual booklet that I sent you) is now over 100 pages and almost complete. The paper that is accompanying it (and is in the booklet) is also well beyond what you have. I have added a methodology section to it and began to find the "common threads" for my conclusions.

Unfortunately, push has now come to shove and time is running short, I was hoping, even if you are not finished with it, you had some feedback on at least part of it?

How does he respond? a whole 24 hours later?

Hi Joan,
I’m still putting my comments on your paper, perhaps, I am able to get it back to you this week.
BTW, do you mind if I put this into your mailbox if you often come to school?
Prof. L-----

My response?

Hi Prof. L-------,

I am only at school on Wednesdays but you could put it in my box if you want.

Now I am assuming that he just feels bad because today he sent me this email, as if to make amends or something:

Joan!
I wonder if you're interested in presentation for social justice forum.I guess your topic perfectly fits for the forum.

Best wishes,
L---------

Is this to make amends for fucking me so royally or just the truth? withr way, Ia mtotally going for it. It would be great on my resume. oh yes, and I decided to do the grad showcase forum as well. another resume boosting experiance.

tonight Bear and I had a long discussion about the curve ball. tee hee. not telling what happened. :P
