i passed my doctoral exam!

i passed!!! it's hard to imagine... after my second and final try, in the heat of recently discovering that i have three learning disabilities... i just found out that i passed Columbia's doctoral exam! i'm so exhausted i haven't fully processed the meaning behind it all. i know it's big - i know that. and i'm so happy this academic hazing is over for the time being.

now, i gear up to take part II of the exam, which is a literature review. i've done most of the work so it will simply be a discernment process with my advisor about the dissertation. i'm really looking forward to this next step. in the mean time, i'm going to bed. nite, nite! xoxo ~ nate
