Great weather, great church service, and great lunch (chicken, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, cake) with a couple of the other grad students. I still miss being with family though.
Speaking of family, I had a great trip home. Probably close to 200 people showed up to Susie's birthday party. I hope I have that many good friends when I get that old. Otherwise it was a bunch of relaxing with the family and doing my taxes (haha). Since my flight arrived late at night, I spent the night with Austin, and then ate breakfast with Lydia and fellow 2007 meteo grads Patrick and Carrie... it was good to see them.
Birthday 24 was nice... spaghetti dinner and a "I Love You Man" with friends and a prospective grad student.
I went to my first NBA game last night. The Jazz stunk it up against the Warriors but it was still a good time.
No official word on the internship, although I hear if I get it, I'd be lucky to start by June with all the government bureaucracy... which means I'd probably be here through at least December.
The WAF-NWP Conference is the first week of June in Omaha. I have a poster and a talk, each on the segments of my research. The poster is largely done (unless my adviser tells me I need to overhaul it) because it needs to be presented at the field experiment meeting (which I won't be attending) the first of May. And also because I'm still awaiting my adviser's revisions on the journal article and what exactly I'm going to do next in research.
In other looking ahead news, I finally have my trip planned to visit Kristin and CA!
