I passed! And I’m going to France…tomorrow

My exam Monday morning apparently went very well (although it didn’t really seem like it at the time), and I passed!  I’m officially a PhD candidate.  With that whirlwind and preparing for my trip, I’ve been a little all over the place this week, but we leave early tomorrow morning and will be in Paris Friday morning.  So cool!  *fingers crossed* that at least most of our plans survive.  I feel somewhat bad that I’ll be gone while many of my friends are going through their pre-orals and orals, but I’ll do the best I can to keep in touch and see how everyone does.

About meg

I think planets are cool! I'm a new graduate student in Planetary Science at Caltech, and at the moment I'm interested in planetary geophysics of terrestrial planets and moons. I'm originally from Cortlandt Manor, NY, and I did my undergrad at MIT, where I got heavily involved in student theater - a hobby I hope to continue through grad school, time permitting... I also like to read sci-fi/fantasy novels, obsess about English history, and play frisbee.
