So I have had like a little more than 2 hours of sleep over the last 36 hours. This of which puts me at my wits end. I spent the entire day yesterday working on my Stats take home final and didn't get finished with it until today right before class was begin. But before I was done, I took a look to see when my paper was due for my other class with my advisor.
IT WAS DUE TODAY!!!
I knew that we had to present the papers in class over the next couple of weeks and just assumed it due at the beginning of that. So I shot a quick email over to my advisor asking for an extension stating that I had emailed him previously my work about a possible extension which was true. This time I actually meant it though. For what seemed like an eternity I waited on a reply. Finally it came and he said it was fine if I could get it done by next week.
Needless to say I was relieved and left the house for class downtown. Traffic was horrible and I get there late. My advisor singles me out in class to make sure I understand it is due next week but I don't mind cause extensions are given out all the time in grad school (at least for me). After class I try and set up the laptop for wireless connection on campus. As you can see I was successful.
Well I am just sitting in the main lobby of the building when in strolls my advisor. He comes over and asks if everything is alright. I have told him about the recent changes at work which are taking up a lot of my time and he understands a bit. Then he proceeds to "talk shop" with me about auto service and tire business. I was really impressed cause he actually wanted to spend some time getting to know me and was generally interested in my well-being. We conversate for the next 30 minutes about all his cars and car problems, my truck and parent's vehicles, and other random topics.
All I know now is that I have to get my advisor a bitchin' Xmas gift.
