Birthday cake ice-cream
Well - I passed. I thought I would feel like this:

Instead, I’ve got a mild headache and a bajillion things to do. I’ve been more excited checking my mailbox before. At least I’ve fended off the irrational pissiness of last night - I was mildly pissed that I didn’t do better, and that the exam wasn’t harder. But, I probably wouldn’t have been satisfied with anything less than an invitation to join the National Academy of Science, and I’d have flopped on any test that would make that kind of thing an actual achievement. Time to check premises, eh? Yeah. So, birthday cake ice-cream but no ticker-tape parade. That’s good.
Onward and upward. China is still a lifetime away.
