It was pretty anticlimactic...a roller coaster of emotions. Before I let the first word slip between my lips, I questioned whether I would make it thru my presentation without passing out. All went well...an applause...and that was IT. I don't know what I was expecting...but after abusing my liver for the past 24 hours with my colleagues...I am not the only one who felt the "that's all?" once the presentation was finished.

Regarding the topic, since I am in a design-field, our thesis doesn't consist of an exhaustive research paper, rather a research project supplemented with visual design plans, section-elevations, details, perspectives... My project focused on a 13-acre floodplain adjacent to the Kansas River in Lawrence, Kansas. I was essentially dealing with stormwater mitigation within a floodplain woven into the urban fabric. The title of my project was, Activating the Fluvial Edge.
