I passed!

I passed my oral exam today. As my advisor said “As if there was any doubt”. My talk went for about an hour, and happily I was able to answer every question posed to me. I had an audience of about ten, which was much less than I hoped for but much more than I expected (given notices were not put up until a couple of hours prior).

I include here 3 slides from my 38 slide presentation, without commentary:

And since you’re well-and-truly bored by now, in commemoration of today (Halloween!), here’s some flashback photos to me in 1999:

I trust you can see a change in my ‘outfit’ as the night wore on?
