Yay, congrats! (sorry for the belated message, I'll have to visit this thread more often)

I have finally received word that my written exam was fine, and now my oral exam is scheduled for this coming Thursday. So I will hold off on the celebration until that is over with.

Thanks, Krats. I'll have my fingers crossed for you on Thursday. I'm sure it will go beautifully.

I applied to Wadham, but have an interview at St Anne's. I'm swinging between excited and nervous at the moment!

Good luck to both of you.

I finally finished by PhD exam!! I passed my oral exam this morning. yayayay, I'm so glad it's over now!

Way to go, Krats! I know for me it took about a day or more for it to really sink in that it was indeed over, and that I didn't have to read 12 or more hours a day anymore. A slow unwinding of a joyful realization and then, wow, the freedom!!! Go celebrate and enjoy the fact that you are now at liberty to sleep late, watch movies and television, go out with your friends at a moment's notice and engage in impromptu displays of song and dance.

Yeah. It really hasn't sunk in yet. I'm all about going shopping. I can't wait. I'm going to go frolick in Manhattan. And I'm also going to play my Nintento DS, which is my guilty pleasure.

congrats kratsy!!!! how did it go? did you get a good mark?

The oral exam was not as bad as I thought. The options for marks are just fail, pass, or high pass. I did get a "high pass" but the "pass" part is really the important thing.
