After the dissertation she had to meet with her advisors for about 1 1/2 hrs so we were all waiting in the Magma Chamber with her peers to see if the presentation was accepted. Of course, it was and she is loaded down with congratulation lai's. In Germany is is tradition to give hats, so she got a hat from one of her friends.
