After spending the last 3 days reading, taking notes, organizing, and highlighting, I spent an hour talking about my three questions. Afterwards the committee seemed really lighthearted and happy. My cello teacher atold me she was SO PROUD. She asked if I had a photographic memory and I said, no, I just spent a lot of time organizing the material!! She also told me she learned a lot from my presentation. We sat around and sort of debriefed on the whole experience.
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I celebrated by getting a calzone for lunch, and then lounging with my cello friends, and took the rest of the day "off".
On the way back from the grocery store I almost biked over a dark spot in the road which turned out to be a very confused injured little bird. Called the animal rescue people and waited with little bird which kept trying to flop itself back into the road, but then a grumpy animal rescue man finally arrived to take the bird to a vet and a rehabilitation center.
Then I came home and took a four hour nap.
When I passed my orals I felt a strong urge to call B and scream with excitement but instead I called my family.
(((ALI))) thank you!! I'm glad you laughed about the dress. Yes, I think it is a really big change that he texted me! the only other times he contacted me unprompted were: the package with the key; recommending 1800contacts to me (1.30 am email); asking for a recipe in september. So, the text made me really excited! I will call him soon, maybe after I am done with my piano exam on monday? or over thanksgiving? which is next week for you brits who don't do the annual celebration of pilgrims and indians sharing a harvest feast together.
