Hi there! Yes I'm still alive and the best news is I've submitted my thesis!!! This is a quick update as I'm currently testing out blogging by email. So I finally submitted my thesis last Thursday. After 3.5 years of lab work and 6 months of full-on thesis writing, it's in folks. It's almost over. I have to wait a few more months to get results and then I can graduate. Meanwhile I got a job. No time wasted. I went for interviews in April as I was finishing up my thesis and got offered two positions. I'm now working at a new environmental institute within another university. Even though my role is more technical support than research, I'm happy to have a permanent full time position. At the end of the day, job security trumps all. I think it would be nice to take a break from research for now. Anyways now that I no longer have my PhD to worry about, I hope to do more crafting. I would love to improve my sewing skills and make clothes. I have started a few new projects this year (to keep my sanity while writing) but I'll share more about that later. Thanks for reading!

Thanks Jenni! It's a strange feeling to be on this side. Hope you're well and on track to submit by next month, is that your deadline? Liz has submitted as well, we're hoping to catch up sometime in June. Let us know when you'll be in Sydney and we can all hang out!
