First Week at U of Chicago

So, if you are going to jump in, jump in.   Here's one day during my first week at the University of Chicago.  Went to hear John Mearsheimer, professor in Political Science and expert on foreign policy and international security, in a lunch time session, primarily for undergraduates on What I Believe and Why.  He talked mostly about his upbringing, going to West Point, his personal experience as a student.  That evening, I caught the end of Susan Manning from Northwestern on Making a (Queer) American Dance: Jose Limon, Merce Cunningham, and Alvin Ailey, before heading over the Smart Museum for the opening of Illuminations: Sculpting with Light.  OK, OK, so two of these event are really about the Humanities...I'm still in the environment
