Passed!

[trochee]

I passed!

The fifteen minutes in the hallway were long and nervous. Advisor stuck her head out and said "[trochee]?" I walked down the hallway. "You passed!" she said, and stuck her hand out to shake. I shook hands with her, with the committee, and joked about handshaking with the one committee-member (commissar?) on the phone.

A minor moment of dread when Advisor says "the committee really agrees that there's more work needed on [second paper]", before I realized that (1) I completely agree and (2) the second paper is the one that I'm excited about (the first is one I'm so sick of...). If they'd said that about the first paper, I would have gone to get drunk. But the second paper: fun!

[ETA: I should clarify: the committee did not require any additional work on the second paper -- they passed me anyway. But they want to see more -- and I want to do it!]

Yay!

YayYayYay!!!

Yay.

Cool. I'm glad. Very glad. And I know those minutes in the hallway very well...

yah, all the students had left by that point so I was out there alone.

For a little while I was standing close enough to the door to overhear about half the conversation. That was too crazy-making, so I walked farther down the hall and spent my time looking at the sky in the atrium.

[lapartera.livejournal.com]

Yay, yay, and yay!!! No surprises. And even better that they think there's work to be done on the second one if you agree and are excited about it! Woot!!

[trochee.livejournal.com]

yes! I'm not terribly surprised either but it's nice to know they're interested in the same questions I am.

[lapartera.livejournal.com]

Very nice to know and I'll bet they're good questions!

Big congratulations, dear heart. Another hurdle jumped!!!!!

w00t! You should go get drunk anyway, but happy-drunk, instead of forgetty-drunk.

Sorry i'm late to the party: Congratulations! I'm sure your advisors are excited to have someone as thoughtful and curious as you are working with them. I had no question about your passing, though, even if i hadn't read some of your papers. I'm glad you feel good about how it turned out!

Kind of late, but hey! Congratulations! That's awesome.
