So after a two-day trip with my parents, I've finally arrived and settled into my new home here in Madison, Wisconsin. I have a pretty nice flat with a couple of other physics grad students. It's a little far away from campus but hopefully that will make me exercise more by forcing me to ride my bike to campus. It's pretty sweet though. DSL, washer, dryer, air conditioning, heating, a pretty decent kitchen, a nice big living room.
My parents were really cool as well. We got all of my stuff moved from the car into my room in about 1 hour, maybe less. Then we went shopping for a futon (w/ mattress), a bureau, a chair, a filing cabinet, a storage drawer set, sheets, pillows, office supplies, lamps, a coffee table, tools, clothes hangers, and a ton of food. I am well set up for the next year at least. It took us a little bit to assemble the furniture. I guess about 4 hours of assembly but it's just about all set up now.I'll put up some pictures soon too.
So anyway it's awesome. :)
