My first year of grad school has finally come to an end. I passed in my final paper at 8pm today with a sense of relief. After months of nocturnality, illness and malnourishment I feel like I can breath again. I can sleep during the nights (though I probably won’t) and I can focus on personal projects. Along with all the efforts, the crying, the vomiting brought on by the course load, came an incredible group of fellow classmates - most of whom you can find above.

Over the summer I will be living in London, England and come September I will be moving to Rochester for the year. I have two amazing opportunities approaching, one an internship at the Victoria and Albert Museum and the other studying at George Eastman House for the following school year. So much to do before then, so much to think about.

As for right now, I can barely keep my eyes open and I must catch up on sleep that I have been neglecting for the past eight months. Goodnight to you (the two to three people who will actually read this).
