Livre d'Or
Not sheepish, but individ-ewe-al
Soundbite
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.

Date: 2012-09-05 12:37 am (UTC)My supervisor is utterly terrifying. Even when she's trying to be nice she's utterly terrifying. I showed a friend (also doing a PhD) a draft chapter she'd written on and my friend said that if that was her chapter, she'd cry.
I do kind of adore her because she's tough but fair - she won't let me present bad work or submit a bad thesis. I'd rather it was her saying that I'd written a load of rubbish than my examiners at my viva! She also does care in her own inimitable way and will send me emails if she's worried - she's got a lot better at being supportive over the course of my PhD. I'm her first PhD student so no doubt she's had a lot to learn as well.
