From the outset, I'd like to let everyone know that I'm conscientious and determined to get this degree, even though I'm only in first year. I met my Adviser of Studies the other week. Seemed like a nice guy, got chatting about lots of stuff and I was quite embarrassed at some of the things he said about me - in a good way of course.
The past couple of weeks have been terrible. Not been getting enough sleep (this is due to a lather of reasons). One reason is my body clock is absolutely wrecked. I mean, 4pm is like breakfast for me etc etc. Another reason is my fucking roommate. He just stays up and plays fucking WoW or another gimpy game that he spent his money on. Fuck sake, it's like half 3am and he's still laughing. Like, out loud cause of his game and stuff. As a result, lectures are getting missed big time
The thing is.. I don't want to be "that guy" that's a dick if I tell him to shut the fuck up or whatever. So my Adviser phoned me up today, sounded disappointed rightly so. So I'm getting phoned up tomorrow at about 1pm. I really want to speak to him in person I guess... but phone it is. So... any advice for me? I guess I'm the kind of person that lets off an impression of being really clever, but not. I'm not clever, just moderate at what I do. I don't want him to think I've become some sort of drop out fag.
Geez, it's just all been a bit much.
