Update on Nadia’s exam – uh oh!

Dear Optimists,

Yes, it’s me. Finally! Hello you!

As Den told you yesterday (woops, we doubleposted!), I have been preparing for my oral exam the past couple of days and yesterday was finally the day.

I was pretty sure that the examiners would kill me slowly with blunt knives. Or that they were actually called “examinators” in real life.


I made sure I said my goodbyes before entering the examination room. But thirty minutes later I came out of the door like this.


I got 12 for my thesis on Evil in Philosophy, which is the highest grade in the Danish school system!

This morning I woke up to the sweetest tweet from an awesome cartoonist friend. The tweet read: “If you get a 12 on your bachelor thesis, you are allowed to dress clever”. And there it was. A drawing of me in an owl suit!

Honestly, I feel pretty damn awesome today!

Love,
Nadia.

PS. Isn’t Den a pretty amazing painter? More of his artwork on Dear Optimists, I say!
