Approaching DC

.

Seats on the MARC train.

MARC stops at New Carrolton. Metro station across the fence.

Tangled web of electrical cables for train engines over the approach to Union Station.

At this point, the commuter train has slowed down its approach to DC so that passing Metro trains overtake it. This will be the New York Ave Station one day.

At Union Station Metro.

Graduation

.

Today, after a year, a semester, and a week of blood, sweat, and tears, we donned our funny-looking gowns and hats, exchanged hugs and handshakes, walked into the Symphony Hall, and received our Master’s Degrees.

The University then proceeded to confer the Digital Arts Award upon two deserving students, one of whom, to my startled disbelief, was myself.

Anyway, I took pictures.

A lot has been happening, and I need to be offline a little longer yet. In a few weeks, I will have much to tell you.

Finished.

.

Last day of class yesterday. Celebrated with a pint of Guinness and a pizza with classmates, then came home and collapsed into bed, close to tears and thanking God.

Grad school’s done.

I need a vacation.
