I know it's been a while, but life has been keeping me quite busy. Exams, and other things.
A few days ago, I was at a point where I thought I couldn't possibly write my term paper. Ever. I was desperate enough to e-mail the lecturer about it, and his answer, although it wasn't what I had wanted to hear, was the very thing I needed to hear. It was kind, but pretty strightforward. He recommened seeking advice from a fellow student who had already handed in her paper, and seeing him during his office hours to discuss further questions I might have.
That was totally unexpected. I had always thought of him as some weirdo who's out of touch with reality. Once again, thas was an encounter that really taught me something: Don't judge people.
Well, a few days later I finally wrote an e-mail to this fellow student of mine, and her willingness to help me really impressed me. So it seems it's not me against the world, as I'd thought.
I'm very thankful for this lesson of life. :)
