Epic....

In the last post I talked about the "end of an era"; that is, the end of my PhD program. But we've traveled even further down the rabbit hole. So with that said I will bid you adieu with the last post of Hither and Yon. I've thoroughly enjoyed writing this blog but as you may have noticed the stretches between posts have become longer and longer. But before I go I'd like to share another "last" or "finally" moment.

Week before last Tim and I took our bound theses and deposited them in the library. I realize that might not sound like a big deal but it is. At Victoria "lodgement" (depositing your thesis in the library) signifies the end of the PhD program. And us being the nerds we are wanted to do this together. We gave our "first year talks" (where you go from provisional to full PhD candidate status) on the same day and said we'd race until the end. Now it's 2016 and we have arrived. So we gathered our bound theses and digital copies, had a friend take a few photos and we set off for the library. There you have it, officially official.

And it goes without saying that this Hither and Yon adventure has been truly amazing!!!
