#phd things

-submit research trip funding application by department deadline -formal approval delayed by three weeks despite being pre-approved before application -send 6000 emails begging for literally any information on delay and get almost no response -do not sleep for ten days straight from stress -trip is only confirmed five (5) days before flying -costs hundreds extra in flights and hotels -admin have audacity to ask for earlier application submission in future (it was submitted by the deadline) to allow time for discussion before approval (it was already discussed and approved) and avoid stress (i am the one stressed) -SCREAM
