So, Li. You sound a wee tiny bit at the mercy of the big D, yourself.
Just remember: the world may be against you, but you'll overcome in the end.
There may be porous-minded, narcissistic, or waffling, iffy, unsupportive people out there-- and probably when they go home for the night, they can't figure out whether to have Stouffer's Linguini, or Healthy Choice Lasagna. They have many struggles in their lives, and you come along all young and gleaming and smart looking, even if you don't know it--and it's hard for them.
You gotta remember, it's hard out there for a pimp. And also for worn-out experimental psych Profs.
Just dig your heels in. Tell your Diss. Ad., that you've done enough ground-work. It's time to finish up the old Thesis and get on with your real work-- figuring out what projects you really want to get involved in-- following your own interests, not showing the sorority that you know the secret handshake, and the names of the past Presidents (of the sorority, of course).
She sounds like she'll give in, if you put your foot down.
