About Me

I'm 22 and a recent graduate(wu-hoo) from the University of Utah. I graduated from a small-town high school in Oregon, a junior college in Washington, and now I've been accepted as a graduate student at Colorado State University. I'm majoring in meteorology (which is not the study of meteors), and I want to be a weather forecaster eventually. Not the dorky kind on TV mind you, the real kind that actually knows what they're talking about.
