Always a fan of neologisms…..
Commiser-brations ….. simultaneously experiencing commiserations and celebrations (perhaps synonymous with Bittersweet??)
So… I got a pharm viva. I didn’t get a phys viva.
Well, I didn’t exactly do anything for phys so why should I expect to.
But then… on another level, I didn’t exactly put the effort in to studying pharm….so that means I have to do a crapload of work in the next three weeks to stop me looking like a dolt in front of two examiners in Melbourne….another reason to comiserate…. so really it’s a celebration that I didn’t get a phys viva because I would have crashed and burned big time.
Such paradox and conflict.
