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 volcanologist at the U.S. Geological Survey, researching volcanic hydrothermal systems and stability, and doing science communication for the California Volcano Observatory. She previously worked at the Geological Society of America's Washington DC Policy Office, learning about the intersection of Earth science and legislative affairs. Her Mendenhall postdoc and PhD focused on how water affects the stability of volcanoes, and involved both field investigations and numerical modeling applications. Her blogging covers a range of topics, from her experiences in academic geosciences to science outreach and communication to her field and lab work in volcanology.

Nice boudinage!
I think you’ve strained your vein.btw, have you had a crack at the extra credit?
Love the extra credit.
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.)
