This morning, I printed out my final drafts of my preliminary exam answers. The past few weeks have been a blur. I discovered that children and partners are like cats; they do not like closed doors. Even so, it has been wonderful to have so much support as I have bundled myself into my office with stacks of books and chocolates.
Of course now the waiting begins. Six weeks at least, they tell me, until I find out if I passed my exams.
In the meantime, I’ll be ruminating on the philosophy of Bart Simpson and 30 Rock.
