Passed!!!!

What more to say? I got a few content questions (I guess if you point out problems of the analysis yourself and possible solutions, this disarms people!) and mostly comments for further development. Well, I still have the public presentation, but this should not be a problem....


And yes, I am very happy right now!!!

Some good news....

I just finished the meeting with my eval. committee. It went well. Both PBG and R(F)FS seemed pleased with the content and made mostly stylish and clarification comments/questions for the draft.
That said, I am given till Monday to submit the final draft and I am defending on Friday!!!

O.K., now I can see how the white hair I have will increase with geometrical proportions....

Not in the mood...

Well, at least this day did not end up to be a complete disaster...
So, let me be more clear...

In general, this was not supposed to be a good day after all.
First, today marks the second year anniversary of my mother's passing. Diphilus once said "Λύπης πάσης ἱατρός γίνεται χρόνος." ("Time becomes the healer of every sorrow") which in my case probably means that I do need more time....

Given my condition and also the fact that yesterday I had to hear all over again the story about a woman I know being diagnosed with breast cancer, it's no surprise I woke up today at 4.30 am after a rather disturbing nightmare. (If you are not in the mood of reading about scary/depressing dreams, just skip the following paragraph)...
I cannot remember all the details, but somehow, it was about a friend of mine (I cannot remember whom exactly) who happened to participate in a race (I think it was a WRC-like event). Now, this person was involved in a terrible accident, so I immediately rushed to the site (don't ask how I got there; it is a dream, after all) and found him bleeding to death. As he was about to die, he grabbed my hands and tearfully asked me to pray for his soul. This is when I woke up, rather upset, I have to admit...
Needless to say, I didn't manage to get a lot of sleep afterwards, so I was feeling rather drowsy in class today.

Last and not least, I had an appointment scheduled with EBG about my eval. paper, a meeting I worried about a lot since my research had reached a dead end....

Well, the good news is that the evaluation paper may not end up into a disaster after all. (As long as I manage to have it done by March 30th).

The bad news is that I still can't get that stupid dream off my mind, something which given the circumstances is expected, but still, extremely annoying...
