I'm surprised that these three hours that were meant for me and my advisor to meet in person, have gone so quickly. Three hours divided into one hour sessions last three weeks. It wasn't supposed to be like that, but it happened that every week I spent an hour in her office. It's been great and useful to get some (rather positive) feedback. Though today was the first time she didn't say only great fabulous fantastic things, but also some constructive critisism, which is good because otherwise I would have felt like this guy, that a friend told me about, that his advisor never ever says anything negative about his still-on-process-work - but this within the process of writing a scientific paper is very unlikely. How should one improve when he or she never gets another points of view? In the scientific world it is very improbable that everyone who reads your work will agree, no, the opposite they will likely annihilate your theory. I'm saying all that because for the first time I didn't freak out for someone's critisism as I normally have used to - I actually gained ideas and great advise. Yet I'm totally freaked out because tomorrow I will start to write that very final thing and ten tremendously busy and difficult days are ahead. Ten days.
