>We'd have cut you off, tbqh

Wish someone had done that.

>Were you getting questions as you went along

Nopes but after the presentation, the Q&A went for around 35-40minutes too, that went well though.

Huh. Well, glad it was successful. Remember that the committee/jury generally want you to be successful so don't stress about it too much. We (as a committee member on a few of them) are checking that you are making progress and seem to know what you're doing. In the past we've ended up giving homework to students who couldn't answer certain things but we're not going to fail them for that sort of mistake.

So... Don't stress too much about it. It's important but not enough for you to be anxious. :) Easier said than done, of course.
