I am Charlotte Simmons

University is appalling at the moment. I didn't submit a proposal, as my supervisor is just a bit rubbish. She went through the motions of helping and when then when I submitted it was told I hadn't adhered to the basic guidelines that she should have told me about.

Thanks. The deadline passed, and she just continued being chummy, as always.

I am meant to have a meeting on Thursday, but can think of nothing to say to her, and feel about as despondent and unsure of my research as it possible to be.

Let's not talk about it.
