Hi, I'm trying to publish several papers with my advisor. I came up with the ideas myself, did all the work the past few years, and wrote up papers which are honestly quite good and fairly innovative for my field. I gave my advisor the papers 1-3 years ago to submit. Since then, they have made well over 10 commitments to different deadlines by which they planned to edit and submit them, and have missed all of the deadlines. I have tried to set my own deadlines where I would submit by a certain date regardless of the state of their edits, but they say that they aren't okay with me doing this - they want the papers to be perfect prior to submission, because they want to avoid any negative reviewer comments and possible rejections. I have graduated and started work and don't have the time to track down my advisor anymore to get them to work on edits with me (the primary way I could get them to give feedback or work on my papers was by sitting in the office with them). I'm not really sure what to do at this point, because I would really like to publish my work. Does anyone have any advice or ideas?

I did apply for university housing, as it seems really comparable in price and everything to the surrounding area, but it seems like current students get priority over new ones.

Hi, I am! PhD in mechanical engineering, starting this fall. I'm a domestic student, but I've been living in Vancouver, Canada the past few years for my undergrad, so I definitely agree on the difficulty of finding housing while not in Ithaca! If anyone wants to look for a place with me (criterion: be very clean, preferably also female although it doesn't really matter), let me know and we could look together? I'm looking forward to picking up cross country skiing...
