I passed both quals!!

w00000000000000000t!

Once again, I remember that life needs theme music. I'm not really feeling it. But then, I can supply my own, just not compose it. And thanks to a party and visits and plans in SF, I am about to have what my roommate calls a "stay-cation" to make up for the "away-school" (better word for a break in which one leaves but studies?) I just had.

Surprisingly many people wished me good luck (complexzeta said he hoped I wouldn't need it, which I call a cop-out substitute though it is logical) and/or told me in no uncertain terms that I would pass. It really helped, as my fear of failure is pretty strong, doncha know; now I can concentrate on differential geometry and whatnot!

Recommendations for I-did-it/I-can-do-it Broadway songs?

You dids it! Congratulations!!

Well done.

I knew it!

Hmmm...theme music? The song I generally think of in these situations is Fantastiks, "I Can See It", but it's not exactly appropriate maybe perhaps.

"Don't Rain on My Parade," from Funny Girl. "The Spark of Creation," from Children of Eden. "Roxie," from Chicago. "Dance: 10, Looks: 3," from Chorus Line. "All You Have to Do is Wait," from City of Angels. "Man of La Mancha," from Man of La Mancha (also "The Impossible Dream"). "That'll Show Him," from Forum. "Everything's Coming Up Roses," from Gypsy (in an ironic way, I guess). "You Can't Stop the Beat," from Hairspray. "Put on Your Sunday Clothes," from Hello Dolly. "It Takes Two," from Into the Woods. "I Can Do Better Than That," from the Last Five Years. "I Could Have Danced All Night," from My Fair Lady. Possibly most literally, "We Can Do It," from the Producers. "The Wizard and I," from Wicked. "Into the Fire," from the Scarlet Pimpernel.

...And I think I'm out :P. Also, congrats!

Wow, damn. That sounds like a playlist to me!

I'm back in the Bay late Sunday, and in the department by Monday. Will you be all celebrated out, or would you have requests for a Johnny-come-lately congratulatory bang?

Congratulations! Looking forward to seeing you when you're in town for the Noteables concert.

Hoorah! Enjoy your plans!

Congratulations!!

The ones that come to mind for me, more along the lines of celebrating being done, are "I Can Do That," Chorus Line; "Miracle of Miracles," Fiddler; "Let it Go," Full Monty; "No Contest," Chess; "The Egg," 1776; "Tomorrow Belongs to Me," Cabaret, if you want to be creepy about it; "Ya Never Know," Little Shop; "Ain't It Good," Children of Eden; "Ever After," Into the Woods; "It's a Hit," Merrily We Roll Along; "I Feel So Much Spring," New Brain; and, if you can wait until tomorrow, "Sunday." There's also "This is the Moment," from J&H, but again, a bit darker than feels appropriate.

And, most of all, "You Did It!" (My Fair Lady)

Congratulations! And I think nobody's mentioned "I Believe in You," from How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.

that was me, oops

Congrats!
And you know which song I would pick (although I admit the fact that it is a duet is problematic)

[dianaelaine717.livejournal.com]

YAY! You rock!! I cringingly recommend, as a "we" rather than "I" song, "We're All In This Together" from High School Musical. It's disgustingly peppy, but fits the theme well.
