After several years, my goal of going “back” to college has been completed. On May 10th, 2013 I graduated from ASU’s “Earth and Space Exploration” program, and will start my graduate studies in the fall.
The past three years at ASU have been an interesting learning experience, to say the least. I made a number of friendships that will be very long-lasting, and was able to pursue not one, but two publish-track research articles.
There is a part of me that will miss my time at ASU, but I am very relieved (and excited) to move onward and upward in my studies. This fall I begin my graduate studies, and will be continuing my variable star research. My goal is to keep working my way up the academic ladder, striving to do well in my coursework and continue publishing solid research.
What does the future hold for me? I honestly have no clue. What I can say is that I’m still enjoying my journey to becoming a professional astronomer.
Thank you all for reading my news blurbs, occasional rants, and cheeky shenanigans.
