I just wanted to share my absolute happiness today with all of you. I had a couple really good things happen today, and now I'm just thrilled
First, I got my letter from the department saying I actually passed my Latin Qualifier! I'm still in shock over this - I thought it had soundly kicked my behind. But now I passed and (provided I passed my Greek Qualifier - should know by Friday) will probably get out of my program in two years! Woo!
And then when I got home, I had two seasons of Stargate waiting for me at the door. Hooray!
I hope all of your days are going well, and if they're not - I hope they get better.

I never passed a Latin or a Greek Qualifier in my life. I don't even know what they are. But, still, I offer you a hearty and sincere Mazel Tov, and much naches. And if you had passed your Yiddish Qualifier, you might even know what that means.

Tante S., you've done it again. I was going to make some witty post about not knowing what a Latin or Greek qualifier is, but you beat me to it and were far wittier than I could have ever been. *sigh*

A, uh, Latin Qualifier is a degree-deciding test everyone enrolled in the M.A. in Classical Philology program must take. It's a big translation test that decides if we're qualified enough (hence the name) to take the Comprehensive exams in the following semester (no guesses on what those are ). Since I passed my Latin one and feel really good about my Greek one, I'm on track to get my M.A. in two years - which is apparently quite rare for a Philologist in our department.
Go me!
(Though in all fairness, you might be hearing me bemoan my sad fates when I get my Greek results back )

In celebration I envite everyone to my cyber bar. The first round of drinks are on me (cost is not a problem). Posts: 1941 | Registered: Dec 2005
