Graduated? Yes. Master in Science? No.

Went through all of the crazy get-ups and processions since Mom decided to come in town and take lots of pictures. Seems kind of silly to do it before I'm actually finished, but I guess everyone assuming that there will be no problems with the defense is a good sign, right? Kicked off the graduation events with a gathering at our apartment and ended things with 6 inches of snow and a barn party. I love Wyoming....

Anyway, the big thesis defense date is 18 June. I'm missing my Oxford 5 year reunion and a trip back to the Ridge, but I guess I had to grow up sometime. I'll probably be laying low until I'm done with the defense, 2 conferences, and 2 research projects towards the end of August. Hopefully a trip up to Glacier will make its way in there somehow as well. Keep the good thoughts coming my way, something tells me this summer will require many.
