I DID IT!!!

Jul 18, 2007 23:47

I did it. Today was my last exam, at 10 in the morning, and I was a wreck. Totally gone bonkers. I jogged up and down our hall, repeatedly, to come down a bit - otherwise I would have screamed. And now... Now it's over. And all that angst was for naught, because you know what? Besides being funny, my grade is goddam good - 1.0 being the best and 4. ( Read more... )

Congratulations!

I understand both the feeling of elation and of emptiness; when I graduated university, it was much the same as I was happy for accomplishing what I did, but I wasn't sure what next. That was a scary thing for me, as I'm a planner at heart. Heh.

Still, revel in the elation for as long as you can, and everytime the empty rolls around, force yourself to think of that AMAZING score and then roll around in it like people (in the movies) roll around in loads of money when presented to them.

Sorry for the delay - real life is catching up with me... naurael July 20 2007, 20:33:46 UTC

Thank you! :)

'Planner at heart', oh yes. I'm told it's a virgo-thing. Erm. Essentially exciting, but more than a little scary... What will I do if nobody wants me?

Oh my. What an existentialist question... *facepalm*

And OH YES. I can't stop grinning. I smile while I'm eating, I smile while I'm walking, I even smile right now. You know, this goofy grin that just exudes pure happiness. It was really long ago that I felt something like that... *smiles* ;)

I scored! I scored! XD

Thank you!

Oh my god... Those exams you describe give me the creeps, especially since I plan on doing at least a doctor's degree...

What really is and was scary for me exactly what you said in your last paragraph: They all expect me to pass with at least flying colours. But every time someone said to me "I know you will do it", it got even scarier... Because what if I failed? I would disappoint them all! Those thoughts kept running circles in my head, and it didn't make it any easier... But relief is even sweeter now, methinks... :)

Last, but not least:

I got kicked out of the meeting afterwards, while my committee voted.

Yeah, me too. It really sucked, me biting my nails in front of that door, them sometimes laughing out loud about a particularly funny joke... *grrr*

But - It's over! I'm free! FREEEEE! XD

Yes, but the point of them expecting you to pass is that they write the tests towards your strengths. If the faculty really wanted me out, they could write a test impossible to pass. Since they wanted me to pass and continue in the program, they selected questions they knew that I knew, and had fun with it ( ... )

Congratulations! I hope you have several restful days, while the happiness of being finished sinks in. :)

Thank you! Alas, it was not to be. No rest for the wicked, and all that... :) Today, I ran to four different offices at uni to get everything straight about this doctorate-thingy... Of course, nothing is solved yet, but I'm holding out hope... :D
