Hard time in getting project paper done



I was having hard time to get my project paper done. I was so confused with my research. I've spent most of my time reading and digesting large amount of articles, journals and policy documents, yet nothing come into my mind. My mind was blank.

No guidance from my academic supervisor although I have approached him for more than five times. I should say he failed to give me any guidance and advice. His only advice, "read, read, read ...".

To make an appointment with him, I must give him a phone call. Whenever, I went to meet him, he reacts as if he was super busy. He would try to get rid of me within 10 minutes. So, what sort of consultation do you think I can get from him? I was left alone to struggle with my project paper.

When I submitted my first draft, his negative remark was 'poor English' and asked me to seek "native English speaker" to correct my English. Some Australian don't even know how to write a correct grammar, what more to say English is my third language? Of course, to fulfill his requirement, I email my work to few of my friends who are good in English.

Do you know which group of people he come from? He is Australian and 'ang moh'. If people tell me that most 'ang moh' lecturers are kind, generous, helpful and will help their students, I can assure you that not most 'ang moh' lecturers are good and capable. Some of them are not capable as well. They don't even teach and often left students in the darkness. So, my conclusion, not all 'ang moh' lecturers are capable and good people. They can be the devil as well.

So, wish me luck although I won't and I can't expect any high grade from this project paper. After more than a month of struggling, I finally get it done. I've tried my best. At last, I freed myself from all the works. What I should say? Give myself a big congratulations!
