So How Is The Semester Going?

With final exams coming up on May 12 the semester is coming to its end.  It's been a very fast paced semester.  Papers and projects are coming due in the next few weeks and so far I'm thinking I'm going to pull off at least a 3.0 GPA for the semester.  I'm very excited for the semester to be over, because I must admit I need a few weeks off.

Unfortunately my research project, and mainly school in general has kept me away from the blogging world.  The blogs that I normally try to contribute to on a regular basis are suffering to the point where I'm contemplating shutting them down.  Never thought I'd say that!  Needless to say I'm also working a side project designing a website to post all of those fancy pictures of tornadoes.  I guess the only thing holding me back from that (besides school) is motivation and restraint.

I'm restraining posting my storm chases and accompanying data because as of now my data really isn't that reliable because I still haven't figured out the best interval for taking data.  I currently rely on an informal method of setting up scientific instrumentation and manually writing down data in intervals of 5 minutes, unless conditions dictate otherwise.  So until I nail down a few "standard operations" I will not be relying on data that I collect, but will mention interesting data as cases arise.  Any website that ends up becoming published will be more of a documentation of weather events with some commentary.

Until next time, stay tuned to my Twitter and Google+!
