I give up....

So apparently working 60 to 70 hours a week isn't enough for my professor. He gave me an A- for my research efforts while people on my same floor who work 30 hours a week (who are not married) and getting no results are getting A's from theirs. I give up- I am tired- I do not know what to do to please this guy. I have almost completed the synthesis of this stupid compound that I don't even care about; I have gained 12 pounds because of the stress and unhealthy lifestyle I have had to turn to; I never see my husband; and I am miserable and depressed all the time. I cannot wait to be done with this program and far away from BYU- I have not had a good experience here. I feel overworked and underappreciated. I am so angry.

Awww...hang in there! it'll be over soon enough. And a minus doesn't mean anything.. If it has an A, its an A! I Hope things start to turn around for you though.

I'm so sorry. That sounds horrible! I can't imagine how frustrating that is. I know you can do it, though. You've made it this far. I've seen how strong and enduring you can be. Keep it up! Let me know if you need anything! I check my email often. Love ya, pal! You're the best.
