HA HA HA! KNEEL BEFORE ME, MORTALS!
From my email inbox today:
I would like to now encourage the universe at large to SUCK IT.
Prelims, it turns out, aren't really all that bad. I pretty much got my worst-case scenario question:
"Hey, CowardlyAcademe, remember that one essay by that one guy?"
"Well, I - wait. That obscure one? Where he talks about - well, I remember seeing this essay, there was something about dialogue in it, but if - um. No. No, I do not."
"Great, well, talk about how it relates to four different novels that span the course of the twentieth century."
". . . sure."
Apparently, the sort of fearlessness associated with weary resignation leads to AMAZING MAGICKAL POWERS OF BULLSHIT ZOMG.
Dear CowardlyAcademe,
Your prelim exam committee contacted me this morning regarding your
exam results, and I am very pleased to inform you that you have been given
the mark of PASS. You may celebrate this milestone without reservation.
Please let me extend my heartfelt congratulations.
Departmental Secretary

Excellent news! I've decided that if I can not only pass prelims. but also be told that I did a good job, that they must not be so bad. And you are clearly more intelligent than I, so I new all would be well.
Congrats!!
