Dissertation Completed

Not mine, unfortunately. Adam, one of my participants defended his thesis on Friday. He passed. On on Sunday he was getting on a plane for California so he could start a new job at Sun in California on Monday.

I talked to him about how he felt about the defense on Saturday, and he told me he thought of it as less high-pressured than when he was interviewing for industry jobs. He was quite pragmatic about the whole thing, but I would not say that he thought of things as a waste of time at all.
