even more official

...than the email I recieved a couple weeks ago, today I got a real letter in my departmental mailbox from our graduate coordinator to inform and congratulate me that I passed my M.A. ("comps") examination. (It's really like 3 exams but I guess together they form your M.A. "examination." aka comprehensive exam aka comps...)

Those lucky five or six or so regular readers of this blog are probably bored with this recurring theme, but at the same time I'm sure you all understand how important this is to me right now. I'll probably scan the letter and put it up here just because it truly is that important and I truly am happy and proud.
