to clarify
The more I think about it (which is to say, when I can't help it), the more I blame my supervisor. If I'd tanked the exams, fine, that'd be my own fault, although I'd have had a decent case to make that I should be allowed to resit them because of the whole dead-grandfather thing. But the thesis, man, how do we have meeting after meeting and report after report to my college and I never get the impression that he thinks it's dangerously weak? Is this not why we have supervisors?
If the other examiners overruled him, then -- well, then I'll still think he's fallen down on his job, but less in a screwing-me kind of way. But tomorrow when I go to see him, I sure hope he realizes he's got some 'splaining to do.
(For the record: this is not the second stage of grief, although I previously didn't want to talk about it and am now angry. I base this assessment on the fact that when they told me, I was intially shocked and almost disbelieving, and then I was angry and upset, and then I asked if there was any way I could redo, rewrite, etc., etc., anything to change their decision, and then I came away. In short: had them all while I was still in the room. I've bought sturdier boxes to pack in, because what is sufficient for storage is not sufficient for shipping. I am, in short, fine.)
