stupidest thing said today

Upon telling the department secretary that I need a refund for my tuition because I'm quitting, she wanted to make sure I'm talking with my faculty advisor about it.

Just now, from graduate advisor: "I assume that you are consulting with your faculty advisor about what would be best for you."

What is he, my fucking daddy?

PEOPLE! I'm dropping out! I don't need anybody's permission to QUIT!

If I were in any doubt, it would be erased with this inanity.

My faculty advisor is a wonderful man whom I will always be fond of. But he is remiss in his duties with most of his advisees, including me. And I most certainly do not need his blessing to end my relationship with him and the whole damn school!
