OP DONE, I’M A DOCTORAL CANDIDATE [UPDATED]
After having spent the vast majority of the last 2 months working on my OP and defense, it’s finally over, and I passed just fine with no corrections. Dare I say the defense was even, well, fun. Therefore, I’m finally, officially, a doctoral candidate. All that’s left for me between now and my Ph.D. is, well … almost everything important. At least everything important to my own research and career in the future. Of course in the grand scheme of things this is far more stressful but at least Purdue seems to think I’m worthy of a Ph.D. At some point I’ll put up my slides/paper on my personal page. Cheers.
I put up my OP paper. You can take a look at it here.
Congratulations, its good to hear that PU thinks you’re worth something afterall… now you might actually have to do some science. I would however like to repeat the recent comments of vdov commenter “generic zoloft…” which would be
Congratulations. Mine went well also. Dr. Cooks asked me two questions that I didn’t really know, but one of them was virtually impossible to know regardless of how much preparation I had done. Are you taking any days off to relax? I think I might not come in on Monday, but that’s about it.
Dr. Costa!
Congrats, Anthony. That is an impressive milestone, give yourself a round of applause.
Now you’ll have to convince NASA to accept Lasik Eye Surgery candidates.
