Skype is a wonderful tool. I used to use it to keep in touch with a buddy who was stationed in Japan, and it was amazing. On Thursday I used it to meet with my advisor to discuss refinements to my research. It worked out very well, as my schedule was being whipsawed by a proposal I’m working on at the office. And sitting at my kitchen table certainly beat having to drive home from Fairfax during rush hour.

An even better part of the meeting is that my advisor seemed pleased with my ideas on moving forward. We refined them a little, and now I have to get them arranged into a logical story that we can present to my committee. I have to get it done this weekend to we can meet again next week.

Thankfully, the proposal is almost over, so I might get a chance to finish up this research refinement in the coming week.
