First day - July 6th

Post date: Jul 22, 2011 5:47:52 PM

Adam (my mentor) and I met up in Room 222 at Braun Hall. I saw a lot of familiar faces and quite a few new ones.

It turns out that the lab had three new undergraduates and one new high school student. Anyway, Adam and I went

up to the Maze (graduate student office) and we talked for a bit. I had just come back from China and I thought

I'd bother him with my nonsense until I found out that he went to China too to do field work. In fact, he went

to a lot of the same places that I did and even spoke a bit of Chinese! Overall, the first day was very laid back.

We talked about the summer schedule too - what days I would be coming in and for how long, etc. He was pretty much

flexible with everything I said, and within a minute, we had agreed that I would be coming in Tuesdays, Wednesdays,

and Thursdays from 10:30 am to 5 pm.
