Here's a quick post. I am finally in Austin and am officially moved in (i.e. all stuff from cars/storage is now in the apartment). Unpacking is now underway but is mostly done. I am so glad I got here several weeks early; if I instead came the weekend before classes, it would be a hellacious first weekend.
Moving down to Austin took two whole days. I drove Danielle's van (which she has named Bessie) the whole 850 miles/15.5 hours. With the exception of a stop to sleep (and swim) just inside Texas, only gas breaks were tolerated. We still made pretty good time, but it was a really long drive. I'm glad to be done. Soren is too.
