It isn’t terrible. Phew.
UPDATED to add: Sorry, I was too tired last night to write any more. But in fact the defense went rather well. Much better than I had anticipated. I guess that if you spend two months obsessing over something and expecting the worst, then when the worst doesn’t happen, it seems pretty awesome.
My advisor ended the meeting by saying “So, [to be finished] you have to do everything you thought you had to do, and less.” A cute and reassuring remark, I thought. They all agree that I should have no trouble finishing in the next few months.
Again: Phew.
