For all those of you out there who are going through the ordeal once more – and that includes grading – I salute you. (And next year, I’m going to be joining you on both fronts!)
Although it’s nice that, for the first time in four years, I’m not taking a final on my birthday.
Jessica Ball is a graduate student in the Department of Geology at State University of New York at Buffalo, where she is learning how to safely and productively play with very hot rocks. Her PhD research focuses on the interaction of water and lava domes, and involves both field investigations and modeling applications. Her blogging covers a range of topics, from life as a grad student to geoscience outreach to (of course!) her field and lab work in volcanology.

Ahahaha! If I had a color printer, I’d be printing that sucker out and putting it on my door. This whole year has been about stress and strain for me – and I’m just hoping I don’t get to a point of rupture!Unless, that is, rupture can be equated with graduation. In which case, bring it on!(I envy you your not having finals on your birthday. I have two on my birthday this year. Whine.)
