Things that are not helpful in the thesis process:
Having to email all the people in the department who are supposed to be "supporting me" and "mentoring me" on a weekly basis and begin the email with, "Hi again, ____, I'm sorry to bug you about this but I was wondering if you had the ______ you mentioned last week to send to me..." or, "Like I said before, I'd really like to come in and meet with you, please let me know if you're available on Thursday afternoon," or, "I was wondering if you'd thought about the question I emailed you about last week," all the while including the entire chain of emails leading up to this one I have sent that have gone unanswered in an attempt to GUILT these people into replying to/helping me.
ARGH.
If I had more time I would just stalk them at their offices, but I can't even do that.
I know writing a thesis is supposed to be difficult, but my god sometimes it feels like I'm talking to ROCKS. Really unresponsive rocks.
