My advisor did a really generous thing for me yesterday

I mentioned to him that my laptop was crapping out and I wasn't sure when I was going to be able to afford a new one.

Turns out he'd just purchased a new "work" laptop for himself, so his old one was sitting in his office unused. "I knew there was a reason I got a new laptop!" he said.

He's letting me use the old one (which is only about a year old) for the rest of the time I'm in grad school.

Now I don't have to worry about what to do this summer when I'm out doing fieldwork and need to type up field notes, etc. or where or when I work on my dissertation.

This is such a relief. I don't know when I'll stop thanking him, if ever.
