PASSED!!

IT'S OVER. It was three and a half hours of constant questions and discussion - it lived up to the hype of being one of the most difficult (academic) things I've done - and it's finished. Passed with flying colors as they say, and I couldn't be happier about it. I think it's going to take a few weeks to set in that it's actually over and I never have to do it again! Now I just have to write, write, and write some more - get these papers done and finish up. I think I love leapday now (did you know leapday is always on a Friday?).
