First PhD Semester Done

[Chris] Oh boy, how to summarize my first semester? Well, I think that it is fairly in line with what I expected. I’m extremely grateful to my friends and colleagues in the classes ahead of me for that. I think that I managed to balance my life in a near-healthy way, not going too long without riding or running and spending at least a little time with Emily almost every day. A typical week of school work, classes, meetings, and assistantship stuff was probably around 70 hours, plus 4-7 hours of clinical work. This probably won’t be a very exciting post, but if you care to know what I do, I’ll try to summarize it quickly.
