UF & Gainesville Trip

It was a shame, but LeMar and Alyssa had to stay in Panama City while I took the trip to Gainesville alone. I spent Thursday afternoon looking at rental properties with a real estate agent. I saw one great option, one okay option and two non-options. We're trying not to, but we're getting attached to the great option. I hope this house is still available when we move this summer. Friday morning I visited the child care facility on campus, and I was unimpressed. We've ruled that facility out as a possibility and are looking elsewhere. I spent Friday afternoon and Saturday with the Chemistry department at UF. It was the first of two visitation weekends for potential grad students who've been offered a spot in the fall class. I was able to tour the department, socialize with current and potential grad students, meet with potential advisors, and take in the sights of the city. I went into the weekend interested in two certain professors, but I left only interested in two different ones. Over the next couple of months, I need to figure out which one I want to study under, because with my short timeline, I have to know who I'm working for and what project I'm working on as soon as I arrive. Here are a couple of pictures:
