So I dressed up:




And had the following professors show up:
Jorge Novillo (MY THESIS ADVISOR)




Sam Sengupta




Rosemary Mullick




Roger Cavallo




Salahuddin Qazi:




Atlas Hsie




After a few dozen tough questions and 1 hour of presenation time. I had to leave the room so that Rosemary, Cavallo, and Jorge can discuss my presentation. After 15minutes of waiting and pacing in the hall way, they left the room and congraduated me. After that I came back to my room i had to change to get ready for the orienation that is today. All this on little sleep.
