Autumn

I love this time of year — great temperatures, clear skies, football & soccer are ramping up into mid-season form, colors changing, it's all good.

Plus, it's one of two brief periods of the year I don't feel miserable waiting on the bus.

Test Post From My iPhone

From the beginning, I wanted this blog to be basically my own version of tumblr. Let's see if that vision pans out.

A New Semester

Ninety minutes of red tape later, I'm registered for the fall semester. It's a little weird not to be taking 3 classes for the first time in half a decade, but it's somehow fitting that there's still a chance I might add a third class for fun. I really wanted to take General Relativity (Einstein's theory of gravitation), but I have to take Nuclear Physics for my research. Kind of a bummer, but as I said I might take GR for fun. Maybe I'm homesick for the workload. :)

Oh... and I'm taking Field Theory, finally. So psyched.

New Office!

While we were on vacation with Mike & Kirsten, I got super lucky and managed to snag a sweet new office --- one on the second floor with an actual view!

Hanging With the Overflow Crew

These people crack me up... great group of dudes in the music department.
