So we’re done with the QE. We think. Maybe. We don’t know.
He comes home, and in his usual cheerful, optimistic demeanor, says, “(Sigh) Well, if I passed, it was just barely. And if I failed, it was just barely.”
The grades will be about two weeks in coming.
So right now we’re praying to the professors to grade justly. And to love mercy. And to walk humbly with [y]our God.
Just today I spent time catching up on reading blogs and I saw all your entries about Josh’s QE. Holy cow! I must say, it frustrates me that to prove himself he had to memorize equations that a normal person in the real world would look up if they needed to us it. Test the application of the equation for goodness sake! (Although I am sure he was memorizing the equations because he would have to use them and not simply recite them.) You can’t memorize the application, and that’s what REALLY matters. It’s like they think it is likely that the world will be coming to an end and there will be no way to look up these monstrous equations that will be needed to save the world. Alas, such is the world of the elite doctorates.
typo: use, not us it
