Yesterday, I defended my comprehesive exam in front of my committee. I passed, which means I am officially advanced to PhD candidacy, and that the last 4 months of brain twisting work were not a waste of time. The ultimate prize is that I get to go back to my real job now- doing research, getting results and saving the world. I am liberated from most of my obligations here for a week or so, so I am trying to use this time to warm up to the idea of doing work again.
I am suffering from what we sometimes call an exam hangover- my brain is so burnt out on thinking that ideas are coming together pretty slow. I am super forgetful, but if I can get a plan of action together, maybe by next week I can do some real work. Or get ready for real work. How lucky of me- I can keep working.

Hey, I like work. I especially like it when I get to work I enjoy, working on problems with interesting solutions. That's probably why I became an engineer. -N
