en, take it easy. Maybe 6 months later when you look back, you will find out that's not a big issue.

My boss is an typical english man. very very strict. the first year I was trying to quit all the time. but later on, by the hard push from him, you may progress faster. and you may find out he is a reasonable and nice guy. just sometimes lean too hard on students. and he admitted this to me once.

guess it's just a process and the style from that boss. as long as he is not unreasonable and only tough on research, that's ok/
