school help: i’m writing a thesis. - Help.com

i’m writing a thesis.

it’s part of the requirement for my major (dance/theatre). the professor who is the head of the department, and responsible for shepherding my senior class through the thesis seminar, is incredibly difficult to deal with, at least for me. i know i have a lot of work to do, and i know that writing a thesis takes a huge amount of commitment, but instead of being encouraging, every single time i bring something to either him or the group, he listens for a brief few moments, and then says something that makes me feel like my candle has been snuffed out. i don’t know what it is, or why it is. i’m behind some in the group, but i’m by no means the worst either. i have to focus my research, but the research is there. but every time i have to talk to him about what i’m doing, every time i get excited, he says something that takes all the joy out of it. i feel like i’m doing it for him, and it makes me not want to do any of it. i seriously considered dropping out of school in my senior year rather than face down this man. and i’m not the kind of person who runs from a fight or gets easily intimidated, it’s just that i don’t see any meaning in dealing with him anymore.

i don’t know what to do.
