Qualifying Exams

For those of you out there wondering, I have made through my four days of qualifying exams.

While it was a grueling process, it turns out that it was not as bad as I had made it out to be in my head.

Granted I did end up writing 61 pages worth of answers, but I shocked even myself by what I actually had learned over the past four years.

Now I only have to wait 12 days until I have to defend my answers to my committee! Hopefully after those 12 days I'll be able to say that my status has changed from being a "doctoral student" to a "doctoral candidate."
