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!

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

hee-AH!

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!

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.

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