Graduate School Question?
Then I feel completely stupid everytime I e-mail or talk to my professors. Mostly it’s my director who is my program advisor. I feel so stupid to having to e-mail and ask questions. I know I’m not suppost to ask questions and I should know everything but gosh…who else am I to talk to if I had a questions about something related to my field?
Anyone else ever go thru this or have any suggestions?

It is normal to need to ask your program adviser questions, but take the time to look at your college and graduate college web pages and the catalog before you ask. There is a lot of information available. If you aren’t sure, walk into the graduate school student services office and ask someone there; their job is to help you.
(btw, ignore the other students who are being negative. There can be a lot of competition between students in some fields and that is often where the put-downs come from.)
I am in my 3rd year of classes toward a PhD and I do all the readings.
Stick it out a bit longer. Hopefully things will improve. I felt the same way when I started grad school – and I just passed my qualifier! It can work out, really. Good luck.
