How was the actual nailing?
It took some time but went fairly smoothly! I’m the handy person in my household, so I brought my awl to make a starting point and then just hammered away.
How did it feel?
It was exciting! I’m so happy to have been part of a university tradition, and it was an additional reward for completing my thesis. Also, I’m pretty proud of myself for not missing the nail with the hammer once!
How was the nailing party?
It was very heartwarming. I invited colleagues from all over BMC and some family, and having them there made me feel really blessed to have met so many amazing people during my time as a PhD student.
