Did no one feel this way past december 2015? I think a lot of people are reading but perhaps not tempted enough to share their experience. One might think: "yes i relate, it has just happened to me." so i am glad i am not the only one who feels this way. I felt defeated after my oral examination. The topic I thought I did the best in, turned out i had to be re-examined on: i was especially frustrated with this fact. I did pass my proposal, however some topics require re-examination. I believe that everything happens for the right reason. Perhaps the change that has occured in my research topic about 8 months ago influenced my lack of knowledge. The fact that I haven't slept the night before (at all): it is very funny because i always stress to my students the importance of resting before an exam. All in all, i am not very happy and definitely not in a celebration mode but i think our strength derives from picking ourselves up after what we believe was a defeat and that is why I posted my experience: to say that your strength is to pick yourself up and move on and life itself is a test which you seldom ace.
