masters ... check. and next steps

a whirlwind of a year has passed and i officially have my master's degree. it's hard to process, really. i've had a lovely week out here with my family celebrating my graduation :)

next steps include six months living in la paz, baja california sur working on publishing my research and a few other things with the gulf of california project at SIO.

and then in february i will be moving to DC as a knauss fellow! it's a fellowship working on creating ocean policy with the federal government. in november i will go out there for interviews to find out what agency i'll be working with. anyways, it's amazing to think that i will be in DC ... who would have thought a year ago that i would be headed to work for the government?!

all exciting news and i'm very much looking forward to it all. (and yes, ivan is coming with :))

more later ....
