Greentext time
be me, fresher
first supervision ever
spent 12 hours on the essay
quite proud of it actually
supervisor is 800 year old man in a room full of books from floor to ceiling
hand him essay
he reads it in silence for 6 minutes
longest 6 minutes of my life
he puts it down
looks at me over his glasses
"Well. You've certainly written a lot of words."
says nothing else
we sit in silence for another 30 seconds
"Shall we begin?"
proceeds to dismantle every argument I made
I leave the room a broken man
it's week 2
Is this what £9,250 a year gets me
