- I sent my advisors the second draft of my paper. I wonder how long it will take them to read it. I expect it to be a while.
- I have a committee meeting coming up. I want to convince them that I should drop the last proposed chapter of my dissertation. I really hope they agree to it.
- If you are going to invite your lab to your home for an open house to entertain a guest scientist, tell people what day you want them to come. Tell them before the day you want them to come.
- If there is a lull in conversation at such an open house, play telephone. It's hilarious when your guests speak a variety languages and children are involved.
- It FINALLY feels like spring. There have been several days with highs above 70F. yay.
- Lost is back tomorrow!

I have been unusually busy in the evenings this week so I haven't written any substantial posts. So, bullets.

omg, i am so excited for Lost as well!!
Hope everything else is going well with the guest scientist.
I have a tip for your committee meeting that might help "protect" you from later grief. Following the committee meeting, write a one-pager about what you talked about and what was agreed on (e.g. we agreed to drop the last chapter), and send it out to your adviser and committee in HARD and soft copy. This documentation protects you from later grievances where an adviser or committee member later on says, "Hey, where is that last chapter? I changed my mind and want it in there!" I have seen this happen too many times, and I don't want it to happen to you!
I am counting the minutes till LOST.
I am so jealous of your sunshine. Sigh.
