she passed with usual corrections that have to be fone by end of month. Theres a celebration tonight at the uni bar - whcih i will be too busy to attend. And a group celebration sometime next week. Which I will probably attend. Her supervisor is the same as my first supervisor...if that makes sense.

Rumour has it (the group secretary) that she has passed. She must have been in and out very quickly ... I am going to wait until i have the facts until i start crying. She will now believe she has every right to control me even more

how can this happen!?

sorry to hear that you didnt get it. I understand how disapointing it is. I agree with ann in that you must try to get feedback. Keep in touch with your supervisor and ask if they have any other projects that you could work on.
I hate to say it but that is how academia works....people are very nice to your face then stab you in the back.
