Day 212: Befriend
So I think I made a new friend today. I had a lunch meeting with a colleague in another department. We have a number of overlapping research interests, and we are both new to the university. It turns out that … Continue reading
Day 211: Wander
Today I made a point of wandering about. I’m getting to know my new campus, but every trip from one building to another is still an adventure. So today, when I needed to head off to a new destination–the bookstore–my … Continue reading
