Substitution for a descriptive title

So the Alabama game came and went. We lost, but watched a fantastic U of M game when I got home. The atmosphere was very cool at the game though, it must have been a bit distracting for Alabama. In other news, I think I found a church home. The Evangelical Free church is right down the road from us and we know a lot of grad students there. It's pretty great. Our first couple of homework sets are in now, we have another due Friday, and next week is our first exam. I feel pretty good about that class, but the other two are enigmas. The prof in one of them is super helpful though. In the other we are learning statistical mechanics from a theoretical physicist turned ChE...so that is not so fun.

Things are feeling more scheduled now though. I've made lots of friends here thus far and am enjoying it. The next couple weeks will be interesting, as we are picking our thesis adviser for the next five years. It's kind of important because we have to like working with them, and be interested in the project. So far I have more choices than I thought I did coming in, which is really great. Next football game I will try to remember my camera and post some pics.
