I'm dropping out of grad school!!

After being pretty unhappy with my situation in a PhD. graduate program in physical oceanography at the MIT/WHOI Joint Program in Oceanography, I decided to quit. I made the final decision this past break when I was home in Eagle River, Alaska for Christmas break. Finally deciding and telling people was a huge relief, and now I'm planning all of these grand adventures in the upcoming months and over the summer.

Most notably, I'm hoping to leave near the end of April to bike cross-country from San Francisco to West Virginia in time for the start of the National Youth Science Camp in the middle of June, where I hope to be working as one of the caving instructors until the end of July.

Enjoy, and grand adventuring to all!!
