*flees the Cat - Muffin*

Great news Hippie, now remember, when doing oral exams it's important not to faint from fear. And I did very nearly do that in my mock for French so it can happen.
Except you'll pass everything, no problem.

[Trog]

Huzzah! :smallbiggrin:

*leans in close in a conspiritorial whisper, nearly spilling his drink in your lap*
Now... for the oral examination... and this is really, REALLY important...

[EmeraldRose]

WOOO!

Knew you'd do it! When's the party?

[Groundhog]

Congrats! I know how hard those tests can be, having had to take them myself.

[RTGoodman]

Congrats!

I just got some related good news of my own about 36 hours ago. Apparently, the Registrar's Office from my college didn't think that some of my classes for my basically self-designed Medieval Studies minor should fit, so they weren't going to give me my diploma. I've been talking with my advisers for the past five weeks and they JUST NOW decided that I had actually met all the graduation requirements. Now I just have to wait two to three weeks for my diploma to actually ARRIVE.

[Serpentine]

Yay Hippie! :smallbiggrin: Soon you'll be able to give real advice in the Depression thread :smallwink:
Um... I got my marks back for uni? Two units, two Distinctions (it goes Fail, Pass, Credit, Distinction, High Distinction - I think sort of like F, C-D, B, A, A+) ^_^ Not too shabby at all considering the crap that went down when I was trying to get the last 2 assignments done and study for my exam.

[Don Julio Anejo]

Congratulations! Hopefully I'll be your colleague in 10 to 12 years.

[Bor the Barbarian Monk]

Congratulations, Hippie, and best of luck with the oral exams. :smallsmile:

Hey, that's a new one. I've never done a Congratulations Boogie before.

Hmm...

Well, since I have no recent successes to discuss (A Level results are a way away), I'll just give my very own *CONGRATULATIONS BOOGIE!*.
And make sure your oral goes well.

I thought it was common knowledge. :smallwink:

[Mustiado]

Woot woot Hippie!

Just remember for the Oral Exam, speak about half as quickly as you think you need to. Slow, steady, and enunciated wins the race. :smallbiggrin:

[Supagoof]

[Skippy]

Congratulations, Hippie! I can't believe I had missed this thread!!!!

[Zeb The Troll]

Heya, hippie! I congratulated you earlier on that one blog place where you mentioned it while the forums were down, but you deserve another one here where everyone can see it. Congo rats! (I really need a congo rats smilie.) I know you were stressing it a lot but we all knew you had what it takes. Out of curiosity, how do the oral exams differ from the written? (Aside from the obvious, of course. :smalltongue: ) Is the subject matter different? Are they supposed to be easier or harder? Will you still have to wait forever to find out the results? Once you finish that, are you really going to go into private practice? Do you have a game plan for that? How exciting!

@ Serp - Nicely done, dear, nicely done. Where does that put you in your career at uni, then? I mean, how many more classes do you need before you get a diploma of your very own?

@rtg - Good for you. It's good to hear someone prosper when they've worked hard, stuck to their guns, and gotten rewarded for it. Once you've gotten your diploma, what are you going to do next? It sounds like an interesting course of study, I'm just not sure how you'd actually make a living at it. :smallcool:

@ Andre - I know I heard you finished your Masters but I'll be darned if I can remember what it was in. Care to refresh our memories? How go your follow on plans for that?

I'm in a bit of a dilemma about my own academic future right now, actually. I'm in a position where I've been inspired to continue my education and go for my own Masters but I'm having a hard time choosing what it should be in. I'm an IT guy that does server maintenance and upkeep and I've been thinking about getting a formal education in Information Assurance. (This plan (http://www.umuc.edu/programs/grad/msit/information_systems_assurance.shtml), in particular.) However, I've been advised by an erudite friend of mine that maybe that's not the best course. In fact, it's been suggested that maybe getting a Masters in an IT field would be a waste of time and money, especially since I'm pushing 40 and I actually have to realistically consider my retirement in the big picture, a task I've been failing to do so far.

[Shadow]

Sweet!
It's 'bout damn time dude! :smallwink:

We should join forces. Ya know, partner up.
hippie = therapist
Shadow = bartender therapist

Oh, and I know a chick that can help you 'bone up' on the material for your oral exam. Good quality. Fair price. Up to date with shots. :smallbiggrin:

Thanks, Shadow, but I've got that one under control. I plan on helping him study daily, if that's what it takes... :smallwink:

[Cristo Meyers]

The entendre is strong in this thread all of a sudden...

...or perhaps my mind is just in the gutter again, I can never tell.

Go hippie!

hmm...achievements....achievements...

err...I wrote a page and a half for my book...

...yeah, I'm boring.

[Zar Peter]

Sorry, no achievments here. Just want to

Congratulate Hippie!

And Andre, too! And Serp. And rtg. And all others who succeeded in something.

Seems the best things happened when I was on holidays... maybe I should drive away again. Yes, that's a good idea!
