Hello all! So, I'm moving to Bali! It's been a while since I've posted on this blog, but I'm hoping to use it as my main news line back to the States for the next few months. I've got an internship with an architecture firm in Bali that kinda blows my mind. Very much looking forward to learning a ton from them. Also looking forward to the adventure of being on the opposite side of the world, on my own, for the next seven months.
In the mean time, I graduated today! Thayer school's investiture was this morning, and I received the green and orange hood that signifies the awarding of the Bachelors of Engineering degree. It was wonderful to see everyone again, and to walk across that stage in front of my parents and friends and classmates and all the faculty I so respect. Also, I won an award. It was a complete surprise, but my Hydrokinetic Turbine team was awarded the John C. Woodhouse Environmental Engineering Prize. I'm sure we all looked completely shocked in the photos. It's super exciting, and a real honor to be recognized in front of this particular group of people.
Now, im back in my borrowed dorm room, gathering my thoughts and looking forward to another Dartmouth Commencement ceremony tomorrow. I've got pretty much the best seat in the house. Hopefully they'll get my name right this time.
Our keynote speaker, Bob Metcalfe was right: I will never be able to sufficiently thank the people who got be here today. There's a crazy number of you out there who I owe a ton.
... also.... Asteroids. We do have to solve the asteroid problem. Metcalfe was right about that, too. Seriously, this speech was really good.
And so begins Chapter 2 of Arianna's travel blog. Enjoy.
