Passed with minor corrections!!

[sqbr]

For anyone who didn't see me in my big red "Phinished" shirt: yes, I have passed. I have four months to put in some mainly very minor corrections (ie, consistently mispelling one of my examiners names, oops :)) and then I should graduate in September! The examiners reports were really very nice, lots of positive comments and fairly high marks(*). I knew if my supervisors weren't such perfectionists I could have handed in ages ago and passed, but noooooo :D

Annoyingly I have a big ol' headache, and that's after a 2 hour nap (I only just managed to finish reading the reports)
So I hope this isn't too badly written, just thought I should let you all know.

Also, tommorrow I find out if I get an interview for a job at scitech, fingers crossed!

Oh, and it turned out I hadn't told my mum we were going to england either. She was not amused :)

(*)It turns out you do get marks, getting a number from 6 (flawed) to 1 (exceptional) for six categories. One of them gave me a 1 for my Lit Review, yay!

wow, that's my dream job! as a research scientist? and you get to give the little play things?

neat!

Re: scitech?

Well, the interview is just to be a floor person, but I hope to work my way up. I don't really want a full time job till I do my corrections anyway.

HUGE congratulations Sophie. You deserve them. And I don't often use all-caps. OK, more often lately. But that's beside the point. HUGE. CONGRATULATIONS.

Huzzah!

So do we start calling you Doctor Sophie now or in September?

[alias_sqbr]

Not yet, possibly in June when I'm genuinely finished. I mean you CAN call me Dr now, I won't object :)

[nephron.livejournal.com]

Woo!

Doctor Sophie! Doctor Sophie!

[miss-kittylix.livejournal.com]

Yay for Sophie! Sophie for president! I can't wait til I've finished a Phd, I still have to complete honours first.

[infamyanonymous.livejournal.com]

Yay for Sophie! You are magical!

Good luck! You'd be so cool as a Sci-Technician :D

I should have realised that, shouldn't I?

Dr Mickey K has explained that in some parts of the world, finishing a PhD involves swords. I think he's planning a doctors-only sword-sharpening evening sometime this month. I should find out more details for you.

Swords, Dr Sqbr, swords I tell you.

[alias_sqbr]

But..but...noone told me there would be swords! Eep!

Wait..I won't be a Dr till like June at the earliest, I don't count! *phew*

[http://users.livejournal.com/doctor_k_/]

Won't you need a sword when defending your dissertation?

hee-AH!

[nico-wolfwood.livejournal.com]

And you couldn't have told me this anytime over the last 4 days when I was running into you every half hour? *raised eyebrow*

Seriously though, congrats.

p.s. I can loan you a scythe if you don't have a sword!

Re: hee-AH!

[alias_sqbr]

You know, Dr K wasn't at swancon.

Oh, you mean me! Uh, yeah, see this is why I need an lj, because I once I've told like 5 people about something I just assume I've told everyone, regardless of who those 5 people are :)

I think in my case running and hiding beats swords/scythes (especially plastic ones) hands down.

[alias_sqbr]

UWA maths dept doesn't do them THANK GOD. Though naturally my dissertation is so brilliant it defends itself.

[the-riviera-kid.livejournal.com]

Wow. That's fantastic. Congratulations.

[gyges-ring.livejournal.com]

Congratulations!

You're the person who everyone can hold up as an example of a UniSFAn who didn't fail

[col-ki.livejournal.com]

You're sure they won't just turn around and say "Just kidding, for mis-spelling your supervisor's name here, have a Masters"?

More seriously, congratulations :)

[alias_sqbr]

If I'd misspelt my supervisors name I'd only deserve masters. But given that most people seem to leave the little accent off the A in "Akos" I don't think he was too upset that I did too. Hmm.

*waits for the Hungarian Mafia to hunt me down. Or possibly mathematical gypsies*
