I am DONE with my exams!. 5 years of studies and o 15 months of practical training finally come to an end! I was lucky with the comission, they seemed to like me. I ended the day with nearly best grades (1,2 for the whole practical part and 1,4 including Uni) :). One of the comissioners half-offered me a job, so on the weekend I will work on my CV and then see where this might take me from april on.

I am sooo happy. My day consists of sleeping and grinning mainly (after work of course).

So after recovering I am happy to take up again all the nice things I skipped during the last 6 months.

So much for my happy thoughts :).

Congratulations!  We've followed you through the last 4-5 months of your training, so we're thrilled to see a happy ending to the story.  And the start of another exciting saga, once you get a job. 

You'll be the MOST BEST teacher -- I know it!   :)

Maybe it's a variety form, there are lots of English varieties where seemingly nonsensical phrases make perfect sense.
That's all it is.  I had to put it in personal context to make sense of it, because it doesn't seem to work on its own.
Wait, are you saying it's an actual variety form?

I'm not sure if it's like... documented, or anything, but I do use that particular phrasing.  It's just a casual way to point something out.
Feel free to PM.

I just found the following sentence in my English textbook while doing homework: "What are they on top of your head?". I had to read a few times, I'm still not getting the meaning. (Context: "I can't find my glasses")

Huh?

It'd make more sense without the "what." Unless the textbook is trying (and failing) to teach you to be snarky à la Piney's version...

AHHHHH CONGRATULATIONS KEX! Super well done! *eats confetti off the ground* 8D

Like Eich, I use this kind of phrase as well, but to me it sounds better as "Well, what are those/they on top of your head then?"
Yeah...I'm very guilty of using this phrase X/
Eg: *motions to "missing" item* "What's this/that/etc then? A bowl of goldfish?"
(I actually had a dream once where the forum was doing a voice chat thing and I could only talk in weird phrases and my accent/English was so bad and I had to leave......agh o___o)
