Yes, I made it back to the States, and survived my first week of classes. I was very sorry to have to leave Robbie and his beautiful island, but somehow I managed to talk myself onto that plane, and the next one, and the next one :P. Classes are going fine so far, not much work yet (or anything terribly interesting, hopefully it'll pick up once we get past all the reviewing nonsense). I'm working at the ARC again this semester, Tuesdays and Thursdays, I hope that will be as much fun this semester as it was before. Also, Julia and I got Netflix, so if anyone has movie suggestions, I'd be happy to hear them (can't promise to act on them, but happy to listen).
