I passed!

While I won't actually get to meet with any of the members of my committee until after break (while is more than a little frustrating), the little bits of feedback that I did get today indicate that, while I do have some things I need to do more successfully in my orals, they were pretty happy with my exam. I'm sure more things will come ( Read more... )

Well, I survived. :)

First of all, a million thanks to everyone who has left me such wonderful comments in the past few weeks - I couldn't have gotten through this nightmare without such good friends.

Countdown to exams: 16 days.

It's not like my ability to concentrate is all that great to begin with right now (for a variety of reasons), and this is really not helping ( Read more... )

It's only 11:00, but I can barely keep my eyes open. I totally crashed as soon as I walked in the door. I'm not going to get anything else done tonight, so I'm going to bed. And I don't care.

Countdown to exams: 23 days.
