Chopin, I have been reading your threads-and I hope that you get some form of resolve on Thursday. Do you feel better knowing that your T said you may have misunderstood her? Sometimes our perception can get so clouded. I hope you can do some repair with her when you see her later in the week. If not, then perhaps you just need something different and that is OKAY. You are entitled to how you feel. As far as the actual tone of the email goes- It seems like she was just being "Firm" in her email, not angry. But, that is the problem with written communication- its hard to tell what someone means. Maybe she wont take email away, but just restrict you for a period of time. All you can do is see what happens and I hope everything goes well
