School week 1 fades to football fall weekend 1

The first days of school are behind us.  Like any new year, it had an eventful beginning with its own ups and downs.  But it is always nice to get into the rhythm of teaching, after all the anticipation of summer.  And good news, my chemistry equipment has arrived. 

Rachel and I are carpooling to and from work, which has worked well thus far.  The only downside is having to brave the highway, which is predictably slow no matter the time of day. 

Yesterday was Northwestern's home opener, which we went to with my mom and dad.  NU crushed its opponent - an unusual event for NU, who tends to play down to their opponent.  After two years away, it was fun (despite the preseason rain) to be at a game in person.  Our seats are right next to the band, and one section over from the student section, so I think the energy will be high once we get into the big ten schedule.

Now we are watching the Lions frittering away a potential season opening win against the Bears.  Some things do not change - the Lions choke (even if due to a questionable call), and the Bears show they are pretty mediocre.
