First Post!!

We made a blog!

We thought briefly about recreating our Facebook pages so that friends and family could still keep up with us and see what we do. This seemed infinitely less painful.

Even if no one else reads this, I can reference it when talking to my parents. I never remember the things I've done in the past weeks, and forget to mention things like driving to Lunenburg.

Bryan has been here for a week now and things have been mostly a success. When we arrived the apartment building was in a slight state of disarray - pipes had burst, there was a waterfall in the parking garage and the lobby may have been slightly flooded. In my rush to leave the apartment back in December I may have left the apartment in slight disarray. Our first days back were spent cleaning, playing with Max, organising, unpacking, playing with Max, fixing our dishwasher that turned out to not really be broken, and playing with Max.

This week has been relaxing for me. For the first time in however many years (22 minus whenever I started kindergarten years) I don't have classes. I go to work (... or sometimes not), I read papers and try to conquer the ZEUS code, and then I come home. So far it's a nice change of pace, but I'm sure troubleshooting code and writing a literature review will have me stressed and frantic again in no time.

Bryan's week has been less relaxing. Between trying to get registered in classes and putting in grad school applications, he's been very busy. Even though the process of a professor giving a student permission to take their class is a simple one, it's surprisingly difficult to get flighty math professors to sit down and do it. As of the time of writing, he's not yet registered in two of his classes.

We spent this weekend settling in. On Saturday we bought a PS3, just to make sure that we don't work too hard. We've been playing Bioshock Infinite (who knew a shotgun could decimate a man like that?!), and waiting for Ni No Kuni to download.

Obviously we'll try to keep this blog updated so everyone knows what's going on BUT let's all be honest with ourselves - the next update will probably come in March.

Love to everyone,
Sam, Bryan, & Max
