Hey all,
I just finished my first self-led mini-tour of Boston. I walked up to Harvard campus and located the building I will be working in. It is kind of a long walk, but I am sure I will get used to it soon enough.
Tonight is going to be dedicated to finishing the readings I am expected to ask questions about on Monday/Tuesday. My advisor, Miaki, is not going to be there on Monday so I am just meeting with her grad student, Eric. I am excited to get to work, but still nervous about what it will be like - similar to the butterflies I get on the first day of school.
Since I have yet to begin, I don't have much to report on, but I did ride in a taxi for the first time in my life. It was a little strange but went smoothly. I think I will rely on the cheaper modes of transportation around here for the most part, though.
My living situation seems stable. I have one roommate and she seems really nice. Not sure how to establish a real connection with her because I am bad at that sort of thing, but she is going to show me around a bit tomorrow, so hopefully things will just mesh on their own.
That's all I have for now. I hope everyone else is enjoying their projects!
