A month flew by (literally, it’s hard to believe that it’s already more than a month) since I started my new position at UIUC/NCSA. I really like it. We found a good apartment, Urbana-Champaign is much better than I imagined (the campus is really beautiful, especially at night), and the best is the really really good supply of fresh fruits and vegetables (shopping is more interesting here than in Bloomington due to the larger choice). I also like my office (I’m still not really settled down, but I’ll get there eventually). Here are some pictures:

the view from my office is the (very nice) parking garage
And the best thing here is that there is a fitness room just 40m from my office! It has a lot of nice weight-lifting equipment and even a shower (perfect):
