Today i successfully defended my comprehensive exams. Grateful for a supportive and collaborative committee.

Writing a dissertation once upon a time seemed impossible to me. This photo is meant to inspire those who are in grad school and questioning if you can do it.
I didn’t think I could, yet, this is HOW I’m doing it.

Introductory post: I’m currently writing my dissertation in mathematics education and a hot air balloon pilot. That means some days, my dress pants end up covered in dirt. I couldn’t be happier with this life.

#aestetics of #writing matter to me. My #comprehensiveexams are due soon. You know how to eat an elephant? One bite at a time. #abq

This morning I flew our #hotairballoon. Feeling pretty lucky to get the chance to fly with a ballooning legend. This afternoon I work on resubmitting my IRB request. One is much more satisfying than the other. This is what balance looks like for me. #chicksfly
