Thankfully, those undergrad met classes are finally over now.
However, I still have to go one more semester as an undergrad to get my math degree as well (need one more 500 level partial differential equations class. Yes, UM requires math majors to take a graduate level sequence). I will also be starting some grad met classes next semester as well (tropical meteorology)
finished my final undergrad met class today

Congratulations! I've taken partial differential equations before, but it was an undergraduate course that counted towards my math minor, not a "500" level graduate course. It was by far the hardest math class I had ever taken! I thought it was way harder than ordinary differentials. Good luck!

I know, I was just joshing....I don't have time to party either, I start my internship with the Pinetop Lakeside Police Dept in criminal investigation in 2 weeks, start my temporary full time ACO and K9 Officer for the dept *gasp* AND then...back to the books as the 2nd semester starts on 17 Jan. AND THEN..........I can't remember what else is going on "LOL!"OH WAIT..."Come up for AIR!"
Good Luck Derek! Keep up the great work!

Congrats on completing the courses...each and every one of you. Keep up the great work, and equally as important, keep your professional skills out front in the public.
Weather folks everyone need an ever-improving image of who we are and what we stand for. From what I see in these here parts, we have some top notch meteorologists heading out into the world.
One of the biggest complements I ever had at a meeting was when Fred Ostby, former director of the (then) National Severe Storms Forecast Center in Kansas City came up to me after my presentation and the evening program and told me how much he "enjoys coming to our meetings when he can" because not only do we put together great programs, but we also "are surrounded by people whose passion for weather really shows."
Another group of undergrads from Mississippi State University would follow us around each year to our meetings which were often about the same time as the National Weather Association had their annual meeting. They came to ours to hang out with passionate weather people. They went to the NWA meeting and found it always worthwhile...but surely less fun.
Point of the story.....congrats again on your classes, but never ever lose sight of the importance of sharing your enjoyment and passion with those around you. It does wonders for our place in the world of weather.
