This morning I presented my initial thesis proposal to my supervisor and a fellow grad student. My supervisor suggested a few minor revisions, but gave me the green light to take the next step and start planning my thesis proposal defence for my committee. A relatively small accopmlishment, but it felt pretty good.

I felt really sorry for the other student though as he was very critical of her proposal and essentially sent her back to square one to start over. She was pretty upset about it. Driven to tears actually. I really feel for her as I know she's been working as hard or harder on her stuff than I have. I tried to encourage her and give her some advice but I don't know if I was helpful or not.
