It went well.
The sky has been falling steadily since about 7AM. I actually got to use one of those fancy Umber-LaLa things that I've heard so much about. ☂ We had to get a new one when we first got out here because it was super rainy on a day we were exploring. It was way overpriced because it was a UD one, but it was also a storm umbrella (big and heavy duty). It's not a bad thing that we got it since the two we had have holes in them. Nothing major; they still work, but holes nonetheless.
All of my classes went well. I love shellshocked freshmen, heh. I got a few laughs out of each class, even though they were reserved and nervous. Seems all freshmen classes are like that regardless of location. First impressions though are good ones for the semester. My office is located in the "Garden Level" (see Basement) of Memorial Hall , pictured below. It's kind of fancy, but the WiFi sucks; I need to get an ethernet converter for my Lappy.

I met one of my office mates today. She struck me as really standoffish at first, but once we got talking, she turned out to be super cool. That seems to be the theme for people around here. Once you get through the first awkward encounter, everyone (at least in the English Department so far) is very nice.
There were lots of new names to try to figure out how to spell. I was happy when I hit two of the Spanish names that I am used to.
So far, the chile withdrawals have not yet set in. We have enough dried and some red thanks to Aaron's Grandmother to last for a while, but I am sure we will be jonesing soon enough. We ate lunch at a little pizza/salad place today called "Snap" and it was the cheapest we've seen in that area. It was also super tasty; however, they had a "Super Hot" pizza combo with "hot sauce and poblanos".
Super.
Hot.
Poblanos.
That's cute.
