If you've got prayers/thoughts/vibes/whatever to spare in the next couple days, I could use them.

My major field qualifying exam is Tuesday, and I'm scared out of my mind. I'm having a very hard time focusing during my last-minute cramming.

Gotta love a eight-hour test for which the best advice you can get is, "Just know everything."

I always made sure to get a good nights sleep before my exams. I found I did better when I did this. At any rate, Good Luck! Although, I am sure you will do fine.

Just think about Wednesday morning, when it'll be all over. Remember, the world will keep on turning.

Good luck, and my prayers are in transit.

This is really hard to remember, but I know that's what I need to keep in mind: once the exams are over, no matter what happens, it'll be ok.

Thanks for all the good thoughts, you guys! [Smile]

12 hours. Eeeep!

Good luck dear. I just had another friend sit his qualifiers there in good ol' Bloomington and he was dealing with similar feelings. [Smile]

You'll be just fine! (He passed, by the way!)

Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :

So...I heard today from my advisory committee. They've turned in the appropriate forms, and I passed! There are few minor points that I have to address in my oral exams, but otherwise...

WOO-HOO!

Uh... I mean, pie for everyone!

A friend just said to me, "So, does this mean you're almost done?"

I said, "Yes, except for my minor field portfolio, my proposal defense, my oral exams, and my dissertation."

Grad school. Yeesh.
