I'm pretty sure my advisor is ignoring me

Dear Advisor,

I wrote you an email 10 days ago with some questions about changing my major and I’ve gotten no response. You’ve sent emails and posted other things to our class website since then, so I know you’re around. It wasn’t even a difficult question - pretty much “yes” or “no”. So WTF?

I know you aren’t my biggest fan, since I’m the only one that ever has an opinion on anything, and I’m not a big fan of yours either, but that doesn’t make you any less my advisor. Just answer the damn question already.

Or are you mad that I’m not enjoying your “baby”? Yes, I realize that you developed this program and are the head of it and pretty much “the man” when it comes to anything related to it. But guess what? It’s not for everyone. It’s not for me. I pretty much hate it and feel like it’s useless to me, to be honest. Which brings me to the second email I wrote you 2 days ago…are you going to answer that one? I’m not complaining about you ignoring that one yet, but I wonder if you will even be able to tell me WTF I can do differently after I have it. As far as I can tell, I will still only be able to be an athletic trainer with nothing to fall back on or use otherwise. That is really unappealing and furthers my opinion that this is a waste of time.

Sincerely,

J.

As an advisor, if I were your advisor I promise I’d answer you.

I wish you were my advisor.

Maybe you’d point me in the direction of something useful I could get a masters in.
