Day 11 (Plus Extra)


* This post, as well as the posts for days 9 and 10, is being written as I sit in the car on the way to Chapel Hill.


Asheville, NC to Chapel Hill, NC
? miles (I forgot to take a picture of my speedometer 
     when we arrived in Chapel Hill…oops!)
Time: We took another detour, so it took longer than 
     normal. It should take about 4 hours to get from 
     Asheville to Chapel Hill.
Highest Temp: 87
Pictures Taken: 1


This morning at breakfast we met a couple whose daughter is a 2nd year in the AuD program at UT Dallas. For those of you who don’t know, I was also rejected from UT Dallas. In the last two days I have met people who are associated with the two schools that rejected me haha. No hard feelings. I am SO excited and blessed to be attending UNC! It was and always will be my first choice school. I am looking forward to the graduate school orientation tomorrow and can’t wait for my program orientation on Monday.


The drive is quite boring again today. I’m the entertainer and DJ and am not as stellar as yesterday because I’m busy writing blog posts. No worries. Every pro has their off day. (My mom just told me I’m my own best audience because I keep laughing at the sarcastic jokes I make. I like to think I’m not the only one who appreciates it. If you like my writing, go ahead and boost my ego by telling me. If you don’t like it, I don’t want to hear it. Haha.)

After three days of calling my apartment complex to see if I can get in early I finally succeeded! We are about 40 minutes away from Chapel Hill and will move in as soon as I get there. I am so excited to stop living in hotels! 11 days was enough for me.

(The rest of this post is being written now – three days after arriving.)

We stopped at another outlet and I bought even more clothes. Now I am definitely ready for school! I was able to move in to my apartment late on Wednesday and have been running errands and unpacking ever since. I finally finished everything this afternoon. There are a few more things to take care of, but nothing big. In celebration, I went to the pool, which was packed. I read by the pool, and it was glorious, except for the fact that I felt like I was at a frat party. Most of the student that live here are much younger than me. Oh well. It should provide some great entertainment haha. Tomorrow I have a lot of things to accomplish from my “to-do” list before attending a BBQ with everyone from my cohort. I’ve met most of them and am excited to meet the ones I haven’t met and hang out with all of them! Six of the girls went out for drinks on Thursday and had a great time! I haven’t laughed that hard in a while. I lucked out with a great group! :o)
