And I was readying myself to ask you at my midnight "What's up, doc?" :)

Congrats :)

Edit: No idea about your beer, my is already inside :) Cheers!

Sweet. Congrats to you.

I'm still trying to figure my life out. I'm thinking of going into research. Maybe organic chemistry? Pharma industry? Psychology? Inorganic chemistry? It's all up in the air.

I definitely want to do a Chemical Engineering PhD in the near future.

Mitch: Congratulations. How many more stage/exams are you away from your PhD certificate?

Congrats Mitch.  Now what does a PhD candidate do to celebrate?

That was the last "signifigant" stage before you get a PhD. I still need to work in lab a few more years and write a dissertation, but these are the easy things compared to this oral exam.

Congrats Mitch!  I had a friend of mine just complete his PhD dissertation and he said it was the most hellacious, stressful thing he's ever done.  Don't mean to put any fear into you.   ;) ;D
