Yeowch.
Well, I'm back from the board meeting.
It was hard, and they definitely held no punches back, but it was good, and they really helped me out. They gave wonderful suggestions, showed me places where everything worked well, and assured me that any problems they found were easily fixed and they would write them down for me. So overall, it wasn't as bad as it could have been. Could've been easier, yes, but then it wouldn't have been a senior board. ;)
What matters now is that I passed, and I'm done. I'm graduating college in a little over a week. I'm going to grad school. And I am very grateful for the advice and support of the professors, especially when I know how hard it was for them to be honest. Poor Peter was trying to assure me for every error to be fixed, that there was a thousand places he loved. He's such a dear. He said doing the boards are really hard for the teachers as well as the students, because they wanted to be supportive and honest at the same time, which is not as easy as one might think. I really appreciate it.
