I PASSED MY COLLOQUIUM. :)
I think this is the most immense sense of relief I've ever felt in my life.
Afterwards my professors told me "This was one of the best colloquiums we've seen. We no longer give graduation distinctions for exceptional colloquiums, but if we did, you would definitely get a distinction." They said that I should speak about academic issues professionally because I integrate everything really well in a "non-pretentious" way. And then my advisor held me back after the others left to encourage me to go to graduate school. (!!!)
I can't believe it went so well. I was SO nervous that I didn't sleep at all last night, so I was (and am) running on pure caffeine. I hadn't even come close to reading everything I wanted to read/re-read in prepraration. I was so scared that I was going to fail.
( the boring academic details )
