For those of you who don't know getting into graduate school in marine ecology is currently on a difficulty level compaible to getting into medical school. In fact I know someone who decided to go to med-school after being rejected by graduate program... who ever thought of become an M.D. would be someone's back up plan?
Anyway... I've applied three admission rounds and 16 applications. But I'me really glad it took me three admission rounds and 16 applications to get in, because it took me three admission round and 16 applications to find the right place for me.
Starting in September I am going to be a full time Master's Student at the University of Brithish Columbia in Vancouver Canada. I will be joining the Chris Harley Lab where I hope to be investigating the impacts of ocean acidification and increases sea surface temperatures on trophic ecology (things eating eachother) in algal dominated communities. More on the project to come in the fall.
So what does one do to celebrate when one get's into graduate school?
I threw a Mexican Train and Moustache Party!
Everyone playing Mexican Train.
Family resemblance, much?
And a very beautiful picture of me feeding Sahel's beautiful baby boy, Sacha... oh, and, yeah, I have a Moustache?
Vancouver has no idea what's coming for it.
