I’m coming up on the end of Year Four, and my planned graduation date, but it hasn’t quite worked out. Due to some additional commitments I took on, I just won’t be able to finish writing my thesis by mid-March. Oh well! I’m deferring now to the summer term, aiming to submit my final thesis on July 1. The extra time is coming in handy, as my latest results suggest that I may completely re-organize how I was planning to organize what I’ve done for the thesis.

I’m also currently taking my final course, “Crises in Earth History.” Mass extinctions, meteorite impacts, volcanism, and more!
