brief update

I have to make this one quick: I have homework to do!

The flight back to Boston was uneventful. Who knew the Phoenix airport had free wireless internet access? How awesome.

My dad, brother, and neighbor came into Boston to help me move stuff into my dorm room. Later my dad took me out for some Ikea furniture! My room is wonderful and comfy. I'll try to add some photos later.

Bobby came to visit me in Boston for a few days. We had a great time, and it was so wonderful to see him again after 3 months of separation! Shortly after he left, my dad invited him to come back for Thanksgiving, so we have another 3 months ahead. He leaves for Stanford this week.

Classes have started. I'm taking five this term - the hardest will be physics (waves & optics), and the easiest will probably be my scientific programming class. But the one I'm most looking forward to is my astronomy lab, where we go out to telescopes once a week to collect data for a project of our choosing! I'm also taking a class on the physics and chemistry of terrestrial planets and Spanish 3, which is taught entirely in Spanish. So far things are going well in all of them, but I have lots of homework to get done in the next couple of days!

I think that's all for now. Hopefully I can get a picture post up soon!
