Confirmation letter for PhD Grad'...

 

It's official! Today I received an email confirming my PhD graduation, in person, on Friday, 1st May 2026. I'll be travelling there with my family as it's been a long time coming.

We're looking at spending the weekend there, and then we'll all travel back after soaking in the sights and chillaxing in Whakatane. I've travelled to Whakatane once by plane and then by car with one of my children, and it will be great to take them down one last time. 

That's been the great thing about the development of online virtual meetings, because it helped keep down travel costs, and I could still meet with my academic supervisor regularly online without having to travel far distances.

In fact, my beloved is considering visiting Gisborne whilst we're down there, as I haven't been back to Gisborne in years. However, we'll be keeping an eye on the weather with some of the rainy storms that we've been encountering so far.

It's quietly becoming exciting in anticipation of this massive milestone for me which has been my nemesis for the past decades. It's neat to know that my graduation will signal the end of one journey and the start of another...
