quietannOK. so, my project group in Methods did not do so well. The "hunches" that I had, but could not convince E. and H. to go with, are most of the problem. It's sooo frustrating!
I suspect that part of the problem is social... I don't command a lot of respect, and neither E. nor H. are friends. I kind of got dumped into their group at the last minute. So things were against me from the start.
Thinking about it, I realize that I have _no_ friends here. I think this is the first school I have been at where I did not make a close friend during the first year. There is no one here I even wanted to invite to the wedding! How pathetic is that?
Dropping out of the doctoral program was part of the problem; some people seem to think that it's catching, like spending too much time with me will cause them to lose their motivation. Also I didn't spend a lot of time studying in groups (big mistake #1!) even when people invited me. I hate looking stupid in front of others...
