At last! A year has passed and my PhD degree diplom I have.

I am a maniac. Yesterday dragged to the gym. Yes yes -20 outside and I decided to proudly prance dressage. But we did a good job with Pallas. She is not dragged, and generally worked as a decent dressage horse, not a German tank, which it usually portrays)))). Frozen (surprisingly in the "flank" -15, slightly warmer than outside). =) And tomorrow at my alma mater, for the first year - a solemn get on a cap to get his license PhD. Yeah, a year has passed ...))))))))))))

Yes. The show must go on. Continuation of the story after the defense.
Well, as always, still gossiping. Now, the other version. All terribly bad, and generally respond poorly, played poorly, thesis awful and not even Thesis, and thesis unpretentious. They wanted to be "against" 8 people, just for the sake of my supervisor voted "yes". And to me all angry and resentful ... And now I have a new code name "insolent monster," an insolent, arrogant, arrogant. Well, exactly. Came just to graduate and boldly intimidated all the scientific council of the professors. Theatre of the Absurd!

Yes. I did it! All thesis defended. I now candidate of agricultural sciences. Hurrah. It was hell. I tore two hours. Block 2 "against" and 18 "for", that is nonsense for our Academic Council. Usually unanimously. Professor Ovchinnikov literally traditions of the '30s shook my abstracts. Shouted that it does not work, you can not do this to protect the produce. And my supervisor was in the hospital. In the morning before my dissertation (I was late with the documents of the illness of my supervisor) yelled at me Scientist Secretary and Chairman of the Board. At the most protection in addition Ovchinnikov someone else voted against it. I do not know who. But I'm very, very grateful to my opponents, that's what really saved me and gave a wonderful hunt specialist Doctor of Agricultural Sciences Professor, Department of pig Leonid Timofeyev (he is still recovering after surgery, but he came), and vice president of the Russian assotsiiatsii trotting class "Commonwealth" Allais Mikhailovna Polzunov. Very helped me and supported my work and those from whom I do not expect this is a Department of Animal Physiology, Department of our quarrel with them and they usually carry the horsebreeders. And then there was a major support. Thank you and them. Thank you and our head of the department, not that he was delighted with the work. But he just made that would support her. For which he thanks a lot. In general, everything was very difficult, but successful.

This is not the day. It's a nightmare. I have a dissertation on Monday. My supervisor was in the hospital today. My main opponent is recovering after surgery. My second opponent caught a chill and fever. Report from the floor that has not been scanned, respectively. Replies opponetov and conclusion of the Dissertation Council, too. Concluding remarks all the more. Moreover, it seems my supervisor is unlikely to be able to attend the thesis defense ((((.
