Well, I've finally arrived, after all the waiting and waiting, and more waiting still, here at the beautiful Rice University. This place is almost as much an 'intellectual resort' as it is a school. I've yet to really delve into the academic facets of the place (I've only been here about six hours as I type this). However, the facilities of the place are quickly showing how great they are.
I am staying in a place called Martel College, one of nine residential colleges here on campus. I have three roommates - Steve, William, and Chris, who share a four-person suite with me. The building is gorgeous and has been well furnished. I've unpacked and started to settle into my room, and I think I'm going to be very comfortable here for the next year.
We're just having a bit of down time between activities right now, so I figured that this would be a good time to kick off my chronicle of my time here. I have no idea how faithfully or consistently I'll be updating this thing, but I'll do my best. If you want to contact me, you either know my e-mail address already - otherwise feel free to post a comment here on the blog.
Tonight is matriculation and some different college activities, and a great week awaits. Let's see what happens...
