Grad School Neuroses

A labmate finally became ABD today, two years after we took our written qualifying exams together.  Our advisor said the dissertation could be written in two months.  I'm totally happy for my labmate.  But, I'm just wondering why, when I asked my advisor if I would still be able to graduate in May despite pushing my proposal date to some time after Thanksgiving, the reply was "well, maybe, we'll see...that's not important."  I know it's probably nothing, and just part of my advisor's manipulative and controlling nature, but still...I WANT REASSURANCE THAT I'LL BE DONE IN MAY *throws temper tantrum*  >:(
