(Almost) All Settled In Now

Finally got internet going in my studio!  No DSL company seems to have service in this area, so I had to sign up for Comcast.  It's a little pricey, but man is it fast (getting ~18MBS download speed).
The School of Public Health orientation was last Friday.  Lasted almost the whole day, from 8-5 basically.  The Nutri Sci department orientation is tomorrow, and class starts Wednesday.  The whole thing seems kinda thrown together at the last minute, but oh well.

Seattle is a lot of fun so far.  Went to an Oktoberfest beer tasting event last Saturday night, and man do Seattlites (?) like their beer.  Looks like I've found the right place to be!

Trying to get my running program up and (bad joke alert!) running again.  Looks like a couple of nice parks around the area to run around.  Tried to run around Ravenna park today, but I ended up getting lost for about a half hour before I found my way back.  It's not one of those simple parks in California that you can just run around the perimeter... this one is really complicated and has small side streets going everywhere.  Might try to do Greenlake Park instead, that one looks a little easier to navigate.

And finally a shout out to my friend (only friend in Seattle for now actually, hopefully that will change soon) Shauna for showing me around the city!
