Pretzels,
I'm fairly certain that if one was to word-cloud this blog, there's be large, stratus cloud in the shape of Whitecastle. I spoke to him for our semi-annual check up today and he offered this gem regarding my upcoming (very soon!) defense:
Whitecastle: If you fail, you shouldn't feel bad. It's a poor reflection on your advisor and not you.
The tone he was shooting for was "encouraging." Then again, Advisor Who's encouragement of the day was an email titled "how's it going!?" Between the two of them, Whitecastle almost looks paternal.
When I grow up, I would like a mentor with human feelings.
