It's hard because we want them to understand us enough to know when we need something but I am learning that we need to ask for what we need. We can't expect others to be able to read our minds.
I think it would be okay to send the second email asking for a response. You could even say what you said here, that you wanted a response but didn't say so.
Good luck

So I send this second e-mail in which I asked T to ignore the previous one, and in the second one I still didn't ask for any response but I knew that after sending it, I'll be less anxious and will manage till Tuesday...
But surprisingly (or maybe not), I got the response for this e-mail:
"I am sorry, that request comes too late. I have already read it and I am very glad that you wrote it. It clarifies important things.
As I am at xxx, I can not say more, no time…. But we will meet next Tuesday.
My kind regards,"
I guess it confuses me, as my T always says that will not respond to e-mails if I don't ask for it but still does it for 60-70% of e-mails... Thus, I never know what to expect and don't want to talk about it with her because then probably she'll just stop responding...
Writing "we'll meet on Tuesday" seems almost like threatening that she wants to discuss this e-mail... I guess, I'm becoming a bit paranoid...
