my syntax broke :(

I was just re-reading some of the old posts, and I realized this is not a blog I want my advisor to see lol… it’s so “rants and raves in the daily life of an advisee”… one day she’s awesome, one day she’s terrifying - hehe

Well, today she’s awesome… though my synax broke… I had AdjP higher than #P which is bad because  it gives the wrong interpretation (plus some syntactic reasons) - I told her about it around noon and she stayed with me after the seminar and we came up with a fix for it… I’m not as proud of my paper as I was before, but I’m also not as sad as I was this morning… it’s a good compromise… I hadn’t even asked her to meet, she just told me to stick around after the seminar to talk about my structure because she’s going to be away next week and Thursday might be too close, which is very nice of her…ok… so now I have a numeral modifier and a #P… which is a fix… oh well… maybe I’ll come up with something brilliant tonight… I’ll start by fixing the things Elena told me to fix (lexical entry for the adjective, and of as type-shifter), and then I’ll add the complement like Hagit told me to… then I’ll try to fix what I have… 

I talked to Tom tonight as usual… he seemed mad/frustrated at me, but I could be projecting… I cried… I don’t know what’s wrong with me… I am not happy with my life today… and I usually feel better after I talk to my Tom, but today I felt worse… I don’t know… I’ll just get back to work and see if that’ll make me feel better…
