I did it! I just passed my quals with flying colours! :) Quals (qualifying exam) is the point at which you typically switch over from classwork to full-time research. It's also the point at which your committee approves your thesis project. You get two tries to pass, and if you don't, you're out. Most advisers don't let students take them

Yay! I mean, everyone I know has passed their quals and I OBVIOUSLY knew you would but it's still a major milestone and a huge stress relief, so wooo! Go Nancy, go Nancy, it's your birthday, it's your birthday...

I don't know if I would go that far! But knowing that what I'm doing is actually worth doing is very nice. :)

Cool, congrats :)

I'm guessing you're (relatively) free from here until your dissertation?

[faerieloch]

Yep! Y'know, just need to publish a few things between now and then!
