Updates Updates Updates

Well, I've once again lacked in updating my blog...but for good reason! I had to finish college! A pretty good amount has happened between my last update and now, and I'll try to summarize as best as possible.

The Nittany Lion Basketball Team made a good post-season push despite missing out on the NCAA tournament, and went on to win the NIT Championship! Several of us made the road trip to the Big Apple to watch the game at Madison Square Garden, and it was outstanding to watch the team finish the season on a high!


The other exciting PSU sports event of the spring was the Blue & White game, which is the spring scrimmage for the football team. It was a gorgeous day in terms of weather, and another great tailgate was enjoyed by all.

In mid-April Jared and I ventured down to D.C. to see the Sabres-Capitals game, visit with family and friends, and go to the Cherry Blossom festival. The game was a blast, and the Sabres won, which made it all the better. The cherry blossom festival was outstanding too, with a great day to explore the National Mall.


I was also able to venture down to Annapolis a few weeks later to take part in the Navy Keel boat regatta. We finished in 9th out of 10th, but had a blast in the process. The weekend after that, I sailed in the PSU alumni regatta, where our boat finished 5th out of 14!


Now it is time for farewells at Penn State. I've had some of the best times of my life here, and I will be very sad to leave. A few goodbyes have been said thus far, and many more will occur this upcoming week. Jared, Andrea, and I stopped by our old home, Irvin Hall, to say goodbye to Carol, our 'house mom' of a sort while living there.

I'll certainly miss campus, but at the same time, I'm very excited to head up to McGill and explore the city of Montreal. However, before that, I'll be off to the Great Plains to chase Tornadoes around as part of VORTEX2, which is the largest tornado field research project in history. I'll be driving around a mobile mesonet, and will be entering the storm to document a variety of weather variables. Keep an eye out for updates through the blog! Until then, onward to graduation, and congrats to all my fellow graduates!
