so as announced previously and elsewhere, i saw the adviser yesterday, for the first time in .. months, and it went reasonably well.
talking to him made me feel ..not "older"
..but perhaps more sobered and "grown-up."
in the last month or two i've felt like an independent researcher, albeit not a very good one; older blog posts are evidence of this.
but i've thought and carried on my research,
minded my errors and flaws in reasoning,
cursed my follies, then moved on,
reduced to cases, realised there was rigor missing,
succumbed to intuition and pictures,
occasionally inspired, occasionally deceived.
expecting to discuss it with the adviser
..but never quite sure when, next.
well, apparently my recent ideas are not so crackpot.
it was good to see the adviser again.
it's obvious, but i'll say it:
things are not going to be the same,
.. but they will be close enough, for comfort.
he will do what he can, and so will i.
