I'm here!

I arrived in the twin cities this afternoon and have spent the rest of the day meeting my fellow MechE researchers and moving in. My building is very close to downtown, and it seems like I'll be able to get wherever I want to go by bike, bus, or foot.

This afternoon, I was walking around outside the dorm, when the realization of my independence hit me: I could take a bus to downtown, go out to dinner, and do a hundred other fun things at the drop of a hat. Tomorrow, we start orientation, and much of my time this summer is already scheduled and regimented, but I have so much freedom and so many opportunities.

Adios
