Hi Matt,

It seems to me like you have been working really hard and shouldn't be letting your supervisor get you down. It is their job to support you - not to make you feel as though you are under constant attack. Perhaps if you feel nervous about speaking to them yous should first send an email explaining a little about how you feel and that you need some help scheduling your work load. If you come across as in control and seeking their valuable advice rather than as critical of them and whiney then I am sure you will get a positive outcome.

Your supervisor was in your shoes once!

If you then feel they are still placing unrealistic expectations on you it might be worth soliciting the advice of another member of the department - but only do this after you hae spoken to your supervisor first.

Good luck.

I am looking for a website that will allow my students to create a survey in Chinese from the UK that they can administer online - nobody seems to know if Surveymonkey can do this or not. If anyone knows please reply:-)
