Another milestone

The family reached another milestone: Paula completed her Batchelor of Applied Earth Sciences, and we all attended the ceremony at the University where she received her certificate, with cum laude. Paula is currently in a gap year, and has a full time job on the board of her rowing club Proteus, being responsible for all the material. She hasn't decided yet what she will do for her Master program, but there is still time.
All students had to present a very short overview of their final project, demonstrating the width of the BSc program. Mary's parents were also present, and afterwards we did a tour of Delft, starting at Dorien's new room, at crawling distance from her faculty. She then showed the obstacle course of her survival club Slopend, where she is one of the trainers now. The afternoon was completed with a grand tour of Proteus by Paula. As board member she has access to everything, and especially the number, size and costs of the boats were impressive. In the evening the girls had their own social engagements, so all the 'old' people' drove back to The Hague to start their own celebrations.
