After many months, my thesis is officially finished and turned in (though I won't know how I did until early December). It's good to be done. The department had a wine reception for us, and we had quite a few celebrations of our own. The week since has been full of packing and goodbyes, getting all my affairs in order to leave. I've moved out of my apartment, my belongings are on their way back to America, and I am off this afternoon on a new adventure. I've got an interrail pass for the next 2 months to go all around Europe, but I'll be home in time for Thanksgiving. And I'll not be going alone - Caitlin and Niamh (fellow BioCons) will coming with me, and other BioCons will be meeting up with us along the way. We're starting in Germany to catch the tail-end of Oktoberfest.
It's been a good year. The course wasn't exactly what I expected it to be, but it was a good experience, and now I have my masters (almost!). South Africa was amazing, and the people in my course made up for any of the course's shortcomings. I got to spend a year abroad in the Emerald Isle, now I'm off for a tour of Europe. But it will be so nice to get home and see everyone there.
