Og i dag ble han ferdig! Bildet er tatt rundt 10 minutter etter at han hadde fatt vite at han hadde bestått sin viva; sitt muntlige forsvar av oppgaven. Så nå er han ikke lenger James, nå er han Dr Shillabeer! Selvfølgelig måtte det litt sjampanje til... Det er litt rart at en av de jeg har vært student sammen med er ferdig utdanna og har graden i lomma. Plutselig kommer alt litt nærmere.This is James. He’s one of the guys I’ve been studying with here in England, but he started before me and was well into things when I commenced my three-year project in 2006. And today he finished! He passed his viva this afternoon and this picture was taken when he met me, Ros and Claire at a campus cafe less than 20 minutes later. We’d waited in excitement during hte two hours his viva took... Now he’s no longer James, he’s Dr Shillabeer! Of course we had a small bottle of champagne. It feels kind of strange that one of my colleagues suddenly has finished his PhD. Everything became more tangible for the rest of us today, I think.
Skål! Cheers, James!
