While I appreciated hearing of your enjoyment of the event, I fear the worst for my own. There's always so much more out there to be known, considered, understood. . . . and I just have this fear that the examiners are going to pick the one thing I don't know and hammer me on it! Here's hoping that I'll be writing the same after my own experience, namely: "It was actually enjoyable AND hearing 'You pass' does give a rather tingly feeling."
