Super Congratulations. I am glad that the fact that you missed seeing everyone in P**** so you could study payed off. We will have to come and take you to dinner soon!!
Starlet and Ryan, comps are hell. Plain and simple. It's the comprehensive examination for getting a Ph D where you stand in a room with your committee members and answer questions for 2 1/2 hours or so about what ever they feel like asking you. It sucks, but I'm done. Now, instead of just being a Ph D student, I am a Ph D candidate. It doesn't really change anything other than the fact that I don't have to worry about failing out of the program I'm enrolled in.
I'm so happy for you!!! One more thing in your accomplished file. I admire you a lot, you have worked hard and spent a lot of time in your field. You will be an awesome PhD!!!
