Wow! That’s awesome!
Sounds intriguing and fun. And sounds like its right up your alley. Congratulations on finding this gem. Enjoy!
That’s absolutely amazing, Rhona! That’s the kind of Master’s everyone should get to do … speaking of which, I am happy to report I successfully defended my thesis yesterday, so I’m able to graduate this fall. So pleased to be finally done. (And there were no field trips with wine and cheese, so I think you’re getting the better deal!)
Wonderful!
Thanks all, and congratulations Paula Jane! We all felt your pain and I’m so pleased you managed to get that degree behind you. (And hey, I don’t see any reason why you couldn’t send yourself on a post-grad wine and cheese field trip..?)
