Multi-tasking

I'm very sorry for the paucity of updates. After lectures this morning, I'll make a few long posts and toss up a couple pictures. Quickly, here's lots of little details:
  • Cambridge is such a gorgeous town. My jaw still drops looking at some of the buildings.
  • The weather is entirely unpredictable. We've had two or three days straight of pouring rain, followed by 65-70 degree weather (which feels glorious after the depressing deluges).
  • My classes are all VERY interesting and they will all be extremely challenging. This will definitely be quite different from year in Grenoble.
  • That said, while my travel options may be limited to the occasional weekend jaunt, I might have the opportunity for some extended travel at the end of term (November 30!). We'll see.
  • I'm playing soccer and I'm going to try to do rowing, too. Gotta stay in shape!
  • My laptop's hard drive died, so I'm borrowing a friend's computer until a replacement hard drive arrives. I might not be able to answer e-mails right away.
  • St Catharine's is a great college. It's quaint and a little small, but everyone is extremely friendly and I'm already starting to feel settled in there.
  • However, my college provided accommodation is abysmally small. I call it my monk's quarters.
  • A bike is essential. I bike practically everywhere, and so do 10,000 other people. It's a sea of bikes!
I have to run to class now, but as I said, there'll be more updates coming in a few hours!

I may have an assignment for you soon, if you can check out some genealogy stuff for me. More about that later.
