finding her way through life with her partner, her cat, her bicycles, and some yarn
I didn’t really want to take part in the graduation ceremony from Penn. I’m not big on pomp and these big celebrational things, but I promised my family that I would do it.

I graduated from grad school yesterday, with a Master’s in Environmental Studies. It feels unreal to actually be finished with school, most likely, forever. Freedom never felt so good.
I'm an environmentalist personally and professionally.
I live in Philadelphia with my dearest and our collection of bicycles. We're currently fixing up a rowhome in South Philly with plans on selling it, buying a sailboat to live on, and to travel for the rest of our lives.
This is a little space to talk about the handcrafts I do to keep (somewhat) sane, promote living without a car and existing solely with bicycles, share our our adventures, and our plans for the future.

You rock girl! Celebrate your freedom by reading and doing WHATEVER THE HELL YOU WANT!
BTW, once again we are way too similar. I didn’t want to go to my high school graduation, but was forced by my parents. My college graduation found me driving out of state for my idea of a perfect graduation…
