Committee Meeting

T had his committee meeting today, and the story is not unlike Roger's meeting recently. It involves the student (who wants to graduate badly) proposing the work that needs to be completed before the defense. And then EHD would suddenly throw a curve ball and say "What about this thing?" Ugh. Eventually the issues are somewhat resolved, but I get the distinct feeling that EHD is not going to make the defense process easier. In a way I am glad that I have rather assertive committee members who are not afraid to stand up to EHD. But all this makes me a little nervous, for I have no idea what he will say during my meeting a month from now. On a positive, I think my experiment worked. The curve was a little wacky, but the preliminary signs are positive. I just need to look at the other batch of embryos and see if the curve is more like what I predicted.

Q told me that his wife saw my knitting site and was so inspired that she went out and bought the supplies. Ha ha, didn't think that I held that kind of power over others...
