my exam day

For those of you wanting a play-by-play of my PhD Qualifying Exams today, I offer you this quick vid clip. Ok, it’s not exactly the same because I wore my navy blue suit and left my bowtie at home.

    What matters most, now, is that it’s over!! ;)

    What was so traumatizing about your exam experience?
