Thesis Defense

James, waiting for the verdict.

At this point in time James had already done a 1-hour presentation and been questioned by five very smart snow/geology/engineering nerds. The questions went very, very well, so he was feeling pretty confident here, but still a bit jittery. I wanted to take a picture of his sweaty armpit, but I thought that might be pushing it a bit.

Some useful drawings James did to respond to some of the questions.

Passed! With flying colours!
Congrats Doc.

The piece of paper James is holding confirms the snow/geology/engineering nerds think his thesis kicks ass. This is also the piece of paper that means the Grad lounge would give us a free bottle of champagne. Note the giddiness apparent on James' face. It resulted in much bouncing about and general goofiness all weekend.

OMG!!!!!! CONGRATS James!

Yay for you, you large brained man who not only builds dormers, shovels barefoot and makes tasty ales, but impresses snow nerds and engineer types to the point where they allow you to now put a Dr. in front of your last name. YIPEEEEEE! You rock. Big hugs and fizzy things from me next time I see you. Well done mate!
