So here I am with one day left in the course and its been a really fun and intense time. All second year oceanography students are required to attend so it was a great way to end my time in England with all the people I've had class with the last semester. We've spent our time on boats, in labs, on computers analyzing figures and creating charts, creating scans of the seafloor, and in the pub toasting to our mutual exhaustion. I also had the honour of representing America on it's birthday in the presence of Redcoat royalists by playing cider pong in the quad to forced chants of USA (definite highlight). Ive been too busy to get sentimental about the ending of my time abroad, but I think I'm going to miss this island. I realized Ive lived in the UK as long as Ive lived in North Carolina (2.5 years) making it tied for the second longest Ive lived in a place behind Virginia (6 years), but thats something to think about some other time back in the states. Here's some pics...

Field Course
The exams were taken, results returned, and classes passed. All that was left for my English education was two weeks of sea, lab, and fun in Falmouth,England (Cornwall).
