Our dorm room is apartment-style, with a small living room, tiny kitchen, and 3 bedrooms with 2 beds each. My partners in crime are the other 5 guys (we don't really see the other people in the program much). We do stuff like go to Walmart (a very popular activity down here), play Poker/Risk, and watch movies. Here's our excursion to Mr. Wang's Chinese Buffet:


Nathaniel(Nate), senior physics major from Carnegie Mellon U. He's also the kicker on the football team, and he (surprise, surprise) likes rap. He's the guy that's usually making goofy/inappropriate gestures during pictures. Plus he's from New York and Jewish. His project is on nanoparticles for creating bone scaffolds.

Noah is a sophomore physics major from U. West Georgia. He grew up in a small town in GA called Tallapoosa, but he's not a stereotypical southerner, although he does have the accent. He has a red bmx bike that he rides around. His project is on creating nanoparticle magnets for cancer therapies.

Alan (pronounced uh-lawn) is a senior physics major, also from UWG. He's originally from Texas, though, and has a Bush sticker on his Mustang. He's working on laser-related projects.

Brad is the baby of the group, an 18-year-old sophomore from here at UAB. He's currently a physics major, but will soon be switching to psychology. Brad showed us around the first few days, but he doesn't really know where much is since he doesn't have a car.
Not pictured: Jeremy, my roommate, a senior physics major from Bob Jones U (SC). He's originally from Philly, and is into shooting/fishing/hunting/etc. He won some kind of national junior rifle tournament in high school. His car (below) usually takes us on our excursions around Birmingham.
