Congratulations Olivia, I have passed too and I did well, I really did not think I was able to handle it well, but I did.
I was so tired and like you, at the start I was calm that it was over but, I am gradually starting to feel the freedom, it is a nice feeling
Good luck to everyone else, and my thanks goes to every one who supported me.
It was worth it after all (for all who still working, frustrated, writing and rewriting, all those bad feelings will all go away and will be part of history once you passed) :-)
Thanks everyone for the congrats and the well wishes! And congrats to all other viva passers, as well!
Yes Tsipat, I got a chuckle out of you remembering that--looking now at that duvet--remembering moving into my accomodation that felt like an igloo. How time flies! 8-)
Must find trout recipe for viva passing....:p:p
Olivia, if I recall correctly, you did a PhD in law (and you're from the States)? Ae you planning to go into academia the States? I'm interested to know how US law schools view British PhDs.
