Ph.D. Candidate (!)

Yeah.

I would never in a million years call the proposal defense "fun" but I will always treasure the moment when that I realized I'd passed and could attend to my committee's questions in a more relaxed manner. They were very supportive, made good suggestions (of the "why didn't I think of that?" variety that I will be delighted to follow), and really seem to be enthusiastic about the direction I'm headed.

A very close second is the cycle of disbelief, excitement, glee, and the realization that I'm still literally glowing. I'm eager to get back to work on it, but I'm sure that my adrenaline spike is just about played out for the day.

It was wonderful to watch the moment when you realized you passed. Congratulations! You worked your arse off for it. Now for a bit of rest...
