#I cannot even begin to express my rage at how this day has gone#my big second year project#which I’ve been working on since June#is due on Monday#I sent drafts off to my two advisors last week#one of them got back to me yesterday and had critiques/points to push further or clarify#but was overall very positive#(this is the Jewish history one)#this morning the imperial history advisor sends me his notes#rapturous about how much new material there is#and then immediately demanding I axe three of the sections and make it all about state history#because focusing on court cases adjudicated within the synagogues and naming practices is ‘distracting���#you looked at the outline for this on four separate occasions [name redacted]#and never asked me to do anything to those sections#those massive. required me to translate from 3 different languages. key to my argument sections#I don’t care that you don’t take Jewish history seriously you asshole#you admitted me as a Jewish early modernists#and you will suffer through watching [other advisor] examine me in a Sephardi orals field and me submitting a Sephardi prospectus#and dissertation and articles for publication#god I fucking hate academia#every day I’m more and more convinced I’m just going to go work in diplomacy or banking#it’ll put the LSE degree and the Russian language certification and my Arabic to actual good use#and I won’t spend the next 40 years dealing with this assininity#not the stones#me stuff
