How did the defense go

[–] [email protected] 24 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

@[email protected] built a wall made up of a 90 mins presentation around himself to defend his dissertation from his committee. The committee members built a wall of 120 mins of questions and internal discussions around that trapping @[email protected] in for even longer. The whole affair was brutal. No one came out unscathed, yet no one can remember what happened except for the extremely troubling moments.

A moment of silence in remembrance...

I've seen things. Things you'd never understand. All I can say is that the best dissertation defense is a good dissertation offense. So much blood on my hands...

One of my professors likened it to overeducated wolves surrounding a wounded elk.

Obviously the elk is weak. But is it weak enough?

I am now Dr. Drail, so it went well! This was back in August, so I am still in recovery mode while I job search.
