Fun and Frenzy

In the last month I've finished writing my thesis, written an abbreviated version for the current issue of Geostrategic Maritime Review, visited my family in California, and defended my thesis. It's been stressful, fun, and quite an adventure.

California...

Defense...

This month, both me and Alex's brother Lucas graduated! He from ship captain school and me from my Masters program. Saturday we celebrated with a dinner with family and friends. I missed everyone in California of course, but we had a really nice time.

Lucas' mom Helen made me this flower crown to wear for the evening

And Lucas got a captain hat!
