photon has decided I gave a fairly big presentation today on my independent research that I've been working on for the majority of the semester. My advisor, though fantastically brilliant and hardcore, isn't known for his interpersonal skills or being a particularly encouraging person. A lot of things have gone wrong this semester, ranging from stupid bugs that were my fault to getting sick and being unable to do work for a while to him getting really angry at me for things unrelated. He hasn't spoken to me since the talk, yet we've both been in the same room multiple times in the ~10 hours since the talk ended. The talk went okay, but could have gone a lot better. I'm presently cowering in fear that he wasn't pleased with how it went.
