nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm
I've learned something new at every job I've had. The last nine months have been no exception. So much happened in my time at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). I applied and got into graduate school. I made fantastic friends. I traveled, lots for work, some for pleasure. I hiked like a madman. [...]
Hayo!! Looking like its going to be another amazing month. This last weekend Boulder decided to get cold out of nowhere and boy did I feel it. It is OFFICIALLY fall. Heres what I've got going on for the next month. Summary- lots of graduate school stuff and WORK. I should not have so many [...]

There have been a lot of moments this summer where I have stood at my desk on the verge of tears. I have a few friends with the misconception I am very put together. I want to be very clear, just because I have gotten a lucky break at an incredible company I am legally an adult, I have so [...]
No way has it almost been two months here... I am in disbelief and honestly fighting off the sadness of leaving Copenhagen on an hourly basis. Quick Hits: work is hard!! (but rewarding) I had a desert at work that was like a giant cake pop but less dense and covered in coconut. Don't know [...]
Sup! I was blown away by England this week but unfortunately had a really tight schedule and wasn't able to do much actual exploring. Quick hits: so glad I wear my retainer DONG Energy is a private company, which supplies the primary amount of Denmark's energy. This is important to understand before looking at the [...]
