I just wanted to say that I passed my second qualification exam (oral exam) on Tuesday, and am now officially a PhD candidate. Yay!

Congrats!!

Congratulations! Keep up the good work!

I've been practicing prefixing your name with a "Doctor" for some time now. I do insist that when you finally do receive a PhD, you must change your nickname on the system from "Nanochick" to "Dr. Nanochick". I will be adamant about it too when the time comes.

Now that you are a candidate, what does the timeline look like for you?

Well, from this point forward, the only factor in the timeline is how quickly I can get my project published and out the door. The average time from this point is about three years. I anticipate being done in that timeframe. :) Yes, I will change my nickname to Dr. Nano;)

So we're partying this weekend or what?

Actually, I am heading up the Nashville this weekend for a wee bit of a vacation. However, I have yet to see your new apartment or your new cats, and with the proximity to IKEA, there is nothing stopping me now;) So we should party next weekend or something!
