The last 3 heads of the ugly qual-monster have been cleanly severed this year. I stand holding their gushing remains as trophies... a lesson to all qual-monsters: mess with the best, and die like the rest!

Projected scores: quantum 19/20, E&M 15.5/20, statmech 19.5/20... with pseudo-errorbars on the quantum and statmech exams at about a half a point, E&M about 1.5 points; 12/20 required to pass (although last year nobody got 12 on the E&M exam so they had to lower it to 11). Even if they grade them really harshly I'm still confident I passed all of them.

In a week or two I'll find out how accurate these self-assessed projections are. But today, I shall drink!
