16 Dec 2009: Admitted Doctor of Philosophy

[kareina]

So, It finally occurred to me to log into the UTAS web page where one's student records are kept (in my defence I pretty much never needed to log in there--only one time each year, when I needed to fill out my "Annual Report", which I didn't have to do in 2009, as they aren't required for people who have submitted their thesis, so no surprise that I didn't think to do it sooner).

Right there, on the bottom of the screen, were the beautiful words:

"16 Dec 2009: Admitted Doctor of Philosophy"

The degree didn't quite get awarded on my birthday, but I'm ok with it being on my father's birthday. Besides, only six days late means I can still claim it as a birthday present, right?
