Lehigh Physics REU Day 1

Hi all,
Sorry I haven't posted in a while, but finals happened. Now I have moved in to my dorm at Lehigh for the summer REU program. While I haven't actually met my adviser yet, I have found relevant offices, buildings, shops, etc. I also got an ID and met most of the other students in the program. It looks, oddly enough, like we have more women than men. Which is not good in terms of showering, but is good in terms of the future of physics (at least in my mind).
Anyway, I will actually get started tomorrow. Hopefully tomorrow night I will describe my project (aka after I figure out what I'm doing I'll put it here so I don't forget the end goals).
I hope everyone out there is managing the summer job thing alright.

Consider Quebec

Having returned from l'Universite de Sherbrooke in Quebec province in Canada and visited my friends at a couple of American schools, I have a few things to say about the education system. Primarily that I like Quebec's better.

That Whole Internet Thing

I got another notice from Academia.edu that someone was searching for me in Google. Now, I have no idea how they track these things, and I'm not interested in learning (yes, I bet all my compsci friends would leap at the chance to consider the problem), but it does mean I think I'd like to link up my various websites as much as possible. In other words, this post won't say much. But, in case you were interested:
I'm at Academia.edu. I'm also on Facebook.
