Past one week has been a roller coaster ride for me. I was offered a job in Cali at the start of the week. Didnt accept it as he wanted me to be permanent. On wed Mcneill mailed me saying that since the project is over he cant fund me for fall. I asked Hoover for an assitantship. Hoover assures me that he will try his best. I spend the next 5 days trying to find a way out of this mess. I even considered transferring to Simon Fraser in Canada.... I get a RA from Hoover on tuesday. This experience has taught me a lot about ppl. Mcneill always used to say that he would fund me for fall but when his work got done he suddenlyy backed out. I worked my ass off for his project .... always meeting his deadlines... I saved him 40 grand but still he would not spend 1600 on me. I usually trust ppl but such things change you as a person. I am sorry this thing happened not because it scared me to death but because I am not the same old self again.
