<p>do I have to do anything for my supervisor?</p>

<p>my supervisor chose me despite other smarter people for i don't know why, so i really feel grateful to him. but is it out of propriety if i send him a thank-you card or an email? what do you guys do?</p>

<p>A nice thank-you card can't possibly hurt. Profs appreciate it when they're, well, appreciated!</p>
