Amy:   Thank you for checking on this!

I had not been concentrating as much on the reading list.  I had also heard through the grapevine that the reading list was not essential.  I did not realize it was a written section of the evaluation.  I guess I should finish reading the list and talk to my advisor

Thanks again,

Melody
