Just kidding. I found it.
(It was in the same building. This place is confusing even with a map.)

Hangry
This is going to be a short rant.
Where the eff is Chick-fil-a??? I am so confused right now. Like, seriously. I thought it was in this one building that like everyone was walking into. Nope. I was in the library. No food. (Glad I found that but not right now. I would have been happier if they served food.) I'm starvinggggggg. All I want is a chicken sandwich. Is that too much to ask for? I didn't think so but apparently it is.

Play time?
I was just sitting in class trying to pay attention. I was doing pretty good with it too. I look out the window & guess what was there... BLOW UP OBSTACLE COURSES! Like really, how am I suppose to pay attention with that going on?! Guess there's only one thing to do. No, no, no..not look away. I'll go play on them after class! :)
Freshie
SO. I feel like a freshman.
I just got out of my first class as a NCSU student! Woohoo! I was kinda nervous this morning/last night. Okay, I was really nervous. I have REALLY bad anxiety. About like everything. But obviously it all went okay. The instructor was extremely nice & the class seems interesting. I even found two more girls who are interesting in OT and one will start applying for grad schools in a few months with me. We're talking about observing OTs and working with each other through the stressful process. haha
Now I have two hours before my next class. Pretty good lunch break! I think I'm going to get something on Hillsborough St. (I think that's how you spell it?) I just started walking around randomly when I got out of class and I found the brickyard! OH! Remember that story I told in my first post about the reason NCSU has so many bricks? It's NOT TRUE! WTH? I'm upset. I liked that story. I'm just going to keep pretending it's true.
One thing I'm seriously missing right now? My sorority sisters. It's so odd walking around campus and not recognizing a single person. I keep seeing other sorority girls walking around and sitting with their sisters so it's making me really miss mine.
(Shout-out to my Phi Mu sisters- I know ya'll are going to rock in this week for spirit week and all during recruitment these next few weeks! I wish I could be there with y'all when the AMAZING new Phis come! SWOOP!!!)
Okay I'm done now. :)

Making It
I've survived four days of P90X! Well, kinda... On the first day I bruised my foot, popped my knee, and pulled a muscle in my arm. But it's getting better! Well, kinda.. Yoga was today & that was just a hot mess. Why the heck is yoga so hard? Anyways..
Last night we went out in Chapel Hill. I got into an argument with the bouncer about which was the "real" Carolina. It was funny. He asked if I get mad when people talk about NC and say 'Carolina'. I told him no, because I still assume they are talking about SC. And I do. I've had to think it through a couple of times. Oh! Today I went to the flea market at the NC State Fairgrounds. We got there towards the end so we're going back tomorrow. It was pretty big. And they had HUGE chocolate covered strawberries- 4 for $4!!! (AHHHH) I will be purchasing those tomorrow. I mean, strawberries are healthy, right?! I'm going with yes.
Abby is having a bit harder of a time adjusting than I am. She isn't eating much which kinda worries me. Well, she eats more when I give her the "special" food that my parents spoil her with when she visits them but I don't want her getting use to that. She's basically ignoring Copper still, which is good. Copper is still trying to figure out what Abby is. (Copper is Abby's new roommate..he's a year old cat.) He usually keeps his distance and stares from a far but occasionally he thinks he's a lion and tries to attack. That's when we have problems.
One last thing!! I ate at Orange Leaf today. :) (It's a froyo place that we have in Columbia. My roommates & I basically ate there 3 or 4 times a week all summer.) I was sooo excited to see there was one close. Seriously, best froyo ever..especially the pineapple flavor! I was talking to the owner and it just opened two weeks ago. Good timing, huh?
Well this was a bit all over the place but so is my life so if you're going to be reading this, get use to it. :)

Last Words
I do not exercise. EVER. Like really, it just doesn't happen. I will avoid it at all cost. Am I'm not exaggerating. I've been blessed with being tiny my entire life without watching what I eat or stepping foot in a gym. Dance and cheerleading gave me enough exercise growing up without any extra effort. Yes, yes, I know. Exercising is good for you and all that mess. I just avoid it.
I just got talked into doing P90X.
If you don't hear from me for a few days, call for help. I may not survive.

Settling In
So I've officially been in NC for a few days now! If I thought packing was going to be the death of me, unpacking was way worse. I really hate unpacking. Heck, I even dislike putting away the laundry. But I am (mostly) unpacked and settling into a new place! I've had a blast these last few days (with the exception of unpacking, seriously).
So far I've had a pool day where we grilled out, a day of painting the room red, a night out in Raleigh (yes, I turned 21 in June so don't worry..not breaking any laws!) :) and a day out in downtown Raleigh. I even drove downtown!! If you know me, I have super high anxiety about driving in new places- especially cities since I'm from a small town that doesn't even have a stop light. I went and explored campus, found my parking deck, and got my new student ID. When I walked up to the desk where they issue the cards, I told them I needed a student ID and handed her my license. She got a REALY confused look on her face (I guess because I showed up in the computer as an 'exchange student') and asked me if I was a foreign exchange student because she's never met one who talked as southern as me. After I explained I was from USC (the real one in SC) seriously like three guys working there jumped up to take my picture for the card & print it out. As soon as I walked back there is was like an interrogation of USC baseball. Thankfully I've gone to the game my entire life and was able to hold the conversation & answer their questions! I even learned something new... Ray Tanner went to and played at State and later coached there. According to one of the guys, he left because NCSU wouldn't build him a new stadium with lights. Looks like we got the good end of that deal, National Championships and a gorgeous stadium!
I have a lot more to say but I have to finish getting ready and Abby wants to go outside (she's so demanding). I'm going to the movie tonight with some people to see the new batman movie (finally)!
