I love visiting friends who have a mat by their front door, big letters: WELCOME.
We’re glad you’re here. You’re supposed to be. Come in, join us.
I’ve never heard of a viva that had a welcome mat. I wish they did.
If it’s viva day, then you are supposed to be there. You did something good to get your thesis finished and your examiners are expecting you.
You are welcome.
