A True PhD Candidate

That's what Ian is as of Friday, December 15th. I've been trying (*cough* nagging *cough*) to get him to blog about it... but alas, he has not. It couldn't be that he's too busy helping me take care of E (naw... really) or that he wanted to wind down a bit after the school term ended (who would have thunk it?). So, taking matters into my own hands (which I often do, hehehe), I'm letting everyone know Ian passed his oral exam and now is an official PhD Candidate. He also officially can work on his dissertation, even though in reality he has been working on it for a year already. Ok, maybe this very short announciary (made up my own word!) post will get Ian to post himself or at least comment on how the exam actually went, what he is looking forward to or how he feels about being a True PhD Candidate.
