grad school: prelim results

I passed!

From, I don't know, 2pm until 16:30 Aimee ([livejournal.com profile] lert), Trevor, and I chatted nervously in the library. At 4:30pm we went upstairs to look for Kris ([livejournal.com profile] vyncentvega) and Matt ([livejournal.com profile] lowgee). We loitered about. We'd been told that results would be available "after 4:30pm on Friday." Notification comes in the form of a mysteriously-delivered envelope with a letter containing just a few sentences.

At 4 or something, we saw the faculty walking down the hallway, meaning their meeting was over, their meeting in which they discuss each one of us who took the exam and decide whether or not we should pass. Adrian (my advisor) saw us in the library and came and sat with us. "I don't write letters, but I'm happy," he said, offhandedly, before starting a discussion about a proposed light-on-light scattering experiment. Things boded well.

At 4:45pm we decided it would be alright to go down and check our mailboxes. Sure enough, there was a single thin envelope in each of our mailboxes.

Adrian went out and bought us champaign champagne.
