Congratulations Toro.

What's the title?

Do you know when the viva is? Do you get much say in your external? Asking around, it seems there's a lot of variability in that between countries and between subject areas. In my research group we get a lot of input into the process, but I hear stories of others who basically just get told who they're getting.

There once was a lovely little sausage called Baldrick, and it lived happily ever after.

Well done.

Excellent news, toro. I hope you find another purpose in life now [smiley thingy etc).

I had a boiled egg in your honour. It's a little too early to drink even for me.

Splendid TTT. Relish the moment and extend it as long as intemperance will allow.

And don't, whatever you do, think about what you're going to do next.

For at least a week

Or so...

I just poured myself an Oban. Since you're not having any, I will have a second on your behalf.

I always find moments of accomplishment like that to be very Zen. There is a fleeting emptiness to life after feeling a major task. An emptiness pregnant with potential - so many possible doors open, so many choices. And all of them open becuase you, through hard work and force of will, have just finished this major task. At which point the zen becomes a flurry af air-punching "woohoo!"s because, let's face it, you rock. Obviously, because you've just finished this thing.

It's a good feeling. I hope that's where you'll be mentally for the next few days.

Thank you all.

Nowhere to drink at this hour on a Sunday, though

I already facebooked him my congrats, but I don't want to look like a jackass just cruising about on the thread without saying anything.

Well done, toro. Ya done it. And yes, go drink something. Anything. Maybe everything.

Mazel Tov, mate.

I think you should go treat yourself to a really nice glass of scotch.

Seeing as I appear to be the only other person about, can I be the first to offer my congratulations.

Well done t4.

Barring printing/binding/submission disasters, I've finished my thesis.

I don't quite know how I feel about this. Strange, mostly.
