Exam = Passed

While writing the previous post I got a call from my GPD/Committee chair congratulating me on passing the written portion of my major field exam. To say that it's a weight off my shoulders would be an understatement. She told me that I had good answers, appropriate in length, scope, and usefulness of sources. I feel like this deserves it's own separate posting because it's such a milestone. I don't envy anyone who has to undergo this process, and at my institution I'm not a fan of some of the particulars (ex: closed note), but it's a good feeling to have passed. Now it's just the matter of the oral component and on to dissertation! In the words of Nick Monterosso "hooray for me!"
