Aaron passed his Comps!!!!! Yay!!!

Well, most of you already know this, but the past two weeks have been EXTREMELY stressful for Aaron. He had to do comps. They are written and oral tests that the people on his committee give him. The questions can be ANYTHING about his thesis topic. For the first time since Aaron and I have met, he came home a week ago yesterday{Saturday} and said that the written part made him feel like a complete idiot. Needless to say, he had his oral test on Thursday and found out that he had passed it all. So, many of you may be asking "Okay, where does that put him in graduate school?" The answer is instead of being a PHD student, he is now a PHD candidate. And for those about ready to ask how much longer he has? One of my good friends asked him that the other day and he replied that asking him that is like asking a woman how old she is? He TECHNICALLY has 2 more years left with this program here at USU, but that kind of doesn't mean anything!!!!!! He does have most of the people in his lab graduating and moving on next year and I think that's giving him an incentive to hurry and get through so we can move on too!!!!
