Christian: Down to the wire
In less than 24 hours, I'll take my oral comprehensive exam at CTS. The oral comp exam is an hour-long exam (they call it a 'conversation') by a panel of four professors, covering any and all topics learned while in school. In a way, it's a final exam for which the subject material is every class you've ever taken. As a requirement for graduation, it's a big deal.

I've been studying and studying, reading Scripture, going over notes. At times I feel very prepared, while at other times I'm totally convinced I'm going to crumble. The committee of professors tells the student 15 to 30 minutes after the exam whether or not we've sustained it. If you get invited back into the room, you passed; if the professor chairing the committees invites you back to his/her office, you didn't.

One way or another, I'll know in less than 24 hours...
