August 22nd

Today I really thought I would not get round to writing a weblog, but it is a good way of turning off at the end of a long day. It started with work early this morngin and proceeded to Jale in J.'s car. Jale is so beautiful I carried my laptop aruond unused for 2.5 hours staring at all the beautiful university buildings. It reminds me of Oxford. J took me to meet someone in my area whomwe had a nice chat and also discussed my research with. It's going to be quite an adjustment going back home.... I then got back and was scheduled for a 6.30 apres dinner meeting. I should have made it an apres dinner meeting - was starving hungry when I got back at 8.15 and spent 15 minutes staring at the stars on the balcony to try and get into a relaxed evening mode. HOpe toachieve that somewhere in the coming hour.
Oh and THursday hopefully is d-day. I may just be able to get all the documents I need to get my car registered (only hiccup could be I also need to have a connecticut ID card made to register and worry they may refuse to do both in one go - J andL have warned me the dmv is the most terrible experience, and will be a low in my stay here). I drove the car down the driveway - only trouble I had was adjusting the seat, managed to open the boot instead, never managed to get the seat to my leg length.
More tomorrow.
