I Feel Stupid
Thursday, July 13, 2006
Lorenzana, my thesis advisor, has been a no-show since the semester began. Escaler subbed for him the first three weeks, although it seems that “sub” in Goth-speak is “reply to one email and never ever ever reply or show up physically ever ever again.” Today was supposed to be my first official meeting with Lorenzana, but then the rains killed that chance. Emailed him, but he hasn’t been replying. Tried contacting my thesis classmates, but the ones I know already switched advisors since their partners were with the others profs. Called the ComDep today, but missed him by an hour (according to an exceptionally sour Carunungan).
All my friends have been making safe progress with their theses, since they’ve been undergoing regular consultations since June. I’ve never even seen Lorenzana face to face. I think I saw him in Katipunan, but I’m not really sure if it was him. I started with my thesis proposal, which, by the way, is due in two fucking weeks, but I’m running the risk of getting it scrapped since Lorenzana’s never given the go-signal. And it’s not like I didn’t try looking for the bastard. I don’t know what’s happening. It’s like my thesis class never existed.
