It's finally over. One harrowing week of banging my head on walls, furniture and computers trying to solve questions that either do not have answers, or involve doing a thesis for getting the answer, or have answers that have nothing to do with the question. If that does not make sense, you should try taking one of these exams and figure it out for yourself.
I want to rant.
I want to rave.
I want to yell.
I want to throttle somebody's, anybody's, neck.
I just want to vent my frustration on someone or something.
I sincerely hope I don't flunk, as that would involve taking the test again after 6 months.
I'm going to toss a coin. Heads, I play a computer game. Tails, I read a novel.
Regular programming will commence after I regain a shred of sanity.

Congratulations on being done. Get out of the house, get some fresh air, some social contact, and some beer, if that's your thing. ;)
And if it's any consolation, this is probably the last set of "Exams" you have to take..until your defense.
[unless, you still have oral quals and/or coursework) - but still, grad school life only gets better post-quals.
cheers!
good, its done....... when do u get the results?
Thank you TGFI :) and I'll be taking my comprehensive next may if all goes well, so no rest for the wicked.
Anna, results will come in 3 weeks.
Is this not a good time to mention that I didnt have to take quals?
*drops everything and runs*
B-a-l,
What?!! :-O How? Why? Damn!
Good job, SP! I too got done with the whole quals rigmarole last semester, so I know how that feels :) Now I can look forward to your loooong posts! ;)

@ libran,
WHAT?? HOW?? WHY??? HOW???
@TGFI, Prashanth: Once upon a time, not so long ago, a tiny chemistry department in a small little university decided that the grad students who didnt get through the process of qualification were being let off too easily... Hence, a committee that didn't do much except drink lots of coffee decided that the oppurtunity to leave should never be offered... To this date, it remains mysterious as to which student they wanted to trap within their nets, but I am sure that the blessings from hundreds of grad students has made sure that his career does not flag off ever since then...
Spee you still grr ? here here throttle Madz..go on..do it..i'll close my eyes..ok
Lava,
Thanks :) you should give me a call sometime.
B-a-l,
You dog...
Vc,
Do you feel upto one more fantasy author post?
Sp did you say the magic word " one"??
yep bring-em-on...
Results in 3 weeks, they say...
I guess you would have passed. These things are pretty simple, if you have failed you would know it. And you wouldnt be putting up any posts.
Guess what SP? My office firewall doesn't allow me to post a comment on your latest post because of its ahem title :) Hahaha even you are being booted out by our firewall: Vc is wanted for many such misdemeanors.
