At 1 pm today the senior seminar begins. This means that the senior researchers at my department will give me feedback on my thesis. The result of this meeting will be whether or not I will publicly defend my thesis in June or not. I am supposed to be preparing and thinking great thoughts but all I have in my mind right now is the old nursery rhyme:
Hickory Dickory Dock
The mouse ran up the clock
The clock struck one
and down he run
Hickory Dickory Dock
Hickory Dickory Dock
The mouse ran up the clock
The clock struck two
The mouse said “boo”
Hickory Dickory Dock
Hickory Dickory Dock
The mouse ran up the clock
The clock struck three
The mouse said “wee”
Hickory Dickory Dock
Hickory Dickory Dock
The mouse ran up the clock
The clock struck four
The mouse said “no more”
