She's amazing. Less than a year ago I was really, really scared of her because she's very distant and cold and intelligent but since I started the BA thesis and stuff and have been at her office several times a month to talk about stuff, she's really opened up and become this incredibly helpful, knowledgable person and she's really been on my side since she started seeing how serious I take my studies. But I never cease to be amazed with how great she is, especially with not only noticing that my application was missing but then making the effort to go look for it, etc. I'm really lucky to have her and I think I've been realizing that more and more over the past few months. I'm utterly in love with her.

A good mentor is the key to higher educations. I can see the differences here at our institute with students and post-docs.

Congratulations and good luck for the next steps!

Thanks!

I think I got lucky in that she's a real exception and really likes me. My boyfriend studies economics and I'm regularly horrified at how shitty the treatment of students by professors, junior professors, etc. is because they simply don't give a shit about their BA students and there are so many of them anyway that it's really hard for any instructor to ever know your name. Even in small courses, it seems like memorizing the handful of names is too much of an effort.
