arachne8xI just got an email telling me that I got into the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute. This is so exciting!!!
Ok here are some FAQ's and their answers:
1) What is the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI)?
- WHOI is an institute in Woods Hole on the Cape Cod. They do all kinds of research in marine applications of earth sciences, including geophysics, which is what I will be doing doing.
2) OMG the Cape? You mean you are moving?
- No. MIT has a program that works with Woods Hole where students get a degree from both institutions. I will be going there 2 or more times a week but commuting from Boston. At least it will be that way for the first year or so.
3) So what about your Masters?
- What about it? I probably will try to finish it anyway but if my advisor continues to piss me off I might just chuck it in the waste bin.
4) So what would you be doing there?
- My PhD in Marine Geophysics. This means studying tectonics using marine applications of geophysical techniques.
5) Wow does that mean you get to go on boats?
Yes. Yes it does.
Ok send me any and all questions you may still have and I will write a new faq. Thanks for all the encouragement, friends.
