Today I woke up at half past eight when Meagan left, and couldn't seem to get back to sleep so I watched a film and went on Facebook for a bit. Becca asked me if I wanted to go for some lunch so we met at the Cafeteria and took advantage of our last day of free food, getting chicken sandwiches, fries, salads and large soft drinks. We then walked up to the post office where I checked my post box (which has a complicated combination turny-thing which I couldn't figure out). When I did i got a lovely postcard from Cat, along with some other stuff from the university and a Dominos student deals menu, complete with magnetic strip on the back so we could stick it to our fridge :)
I then went to the bookstore to get my books, but then decided the queue was way too long. We observed the freshers moving in with their families bringing boxes and bags and fridges and kitchen sinks, and marvelled at how little we had brought in comparison.
Then I took the Gold Route Appalcart which went right up the mountain behind us to the Broyhill Inn and Conference Center, and past Appalachian Heights which is accommodation for students. It was very pretty. I then returned to the room where Meagan was taking a nap, so I left her and went downstairs to the computer room for a bit. I then came back up and talked to a few people on Skype. Baseball tomorrow!!! I did my first laundry in America yesterday, which made me feel quite accomplished. Quarters are like gold dust around here though, because the machines only take quarters. The vending machines however take your Student ID cards which is extremely useful.
