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.

Not rock bottom and not over the moon. Far from the beginning but a long way to go before the finish line.

Any day now viva invitations and or rejections are in the post. Which means hopefully soon enough I’ll be able to know if I’ve been able to command a miracle and scrape over the line for an invite (in which case maybe the fear will motivate some more study) or be relegated back to square two to revise again and again to attempt another go at the dreaded written exams in February.

Time will tell.
