I'm safe and sound in my new residence. I'm almost done unpacking--the only things remaining are living room/office small stuff (and my enormous tea collection). I'm trying to figure out how to arrange the furniture because of the funny outlet placement and the fact that I don't want to trip over cords.

Classes start Tuesday, and I've already become friendly with some of my fellow students. Now I just need to find one more lab for my last rotation and I'm set. I won't have internet access for at least four or five days--I'm using Starbucks' wi-fi right now.

Planning to go for a bike ride tomorrow or Monday. There's a trail behind the university that's hopefully open again (they were inspecting the gas lines in August), or there's another trail that I've taken this opportunity to get directions to.
