I was in Birge to get some form signed (yay! I might be a legitimate student soon!) this afternoon, and there was a physics faculty meeting starting in 375 LeConte. It was funny, because it just made me realize how familiar all the profs are to me. John Clarke gave me a nod, George Smoot said "What's up, Tobin?", etc, and Alessandra Lanzara found out that my real name is not "Nicky Hamilton." (-: Renews my feeling that I should just hold out and try to get into the physics department here. (-:
I actually went to Office Hours today for more or less the first time. It was by accident. I went to get the aforementioned form signed by Bjorn Poonen (my prof for metric differential geometry), and he was having office hours, so I stayed. He was addressing a question from our first homework that I didn't find particularly interesting, but then we started talking about turning surfaces into metric spaces, and then about geodesics and gravitational lensing, which was cool.
