Thanks, Abi. I think they might be a good start for me for my mentoring gig. I don't need a lot of scholarly psychology for this kind of work, but some hands-on, practical theory. I know she's not exactly beloved by all but I think she is working on backing up her works with more research.
Xander: I still don't get why we came here to get info about a killer snot monster. Giles: Because it's a killer snot monster from outer space. I did not say that.

I, shamefully, really like Disney's Little Mermaid. For the music. And Disney's Beauty And The Beast will always make me happy, because hey! Giant library! Plus it has one of my favorite scenes ever:
"Papa, do you think I'm odd?"
(Obviously kind of nutty inventor father rolls out from under current invention. While wearing goggles.)
"My daughter? Odd? Of course not!"

I met with my advisor.
I managed not to cry until I left his office.

Also, he still has not read more than 2 pages of the sixteen-page paper I gave him over a month ago. But he also says that I can't put the paper up on arxiv until he OKs it.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

He beat me in the final round but yeah, I won a little.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Seriously. How is that in any way helpful? This guy is in the wrong profession.

I wonder, Hill, when he thinks of what he's said there, can he tell the difference between good advising and bad advising? Or does he think this is good advising?
'Cause I've got some notes.

Hil, do you have to keep him as your advisor? Is it possible to switch?

It's not possible to switch now. He's the only person in the department working in the field that I'm working in, and it's way too late to switch topics.
