Future Ben

It’s true. I am now a master of science. I am looking at the results of my qualifying exam and it indubitably says, “pass.” Actually the oral exam was eerily smooth. There were a few conversational questions by my board, but other than that they just listened quitely, deliberated for 5 minutes, then brought me back in and said, “congratulations.” I thought I was going to sweat it out for 3 hours under a barrage of impossible questions. I was done in an hour and a half!

I feel strangely disapointed. With an impending sense that the other shoe is going to drop in the next few months. Transgenic mice are notoriously frustrating. But I must tiumph, for the future.
