Well...
Stupid me waiting up to register last night at midnight...without knowing registration did not open until 7 AM. I set my alarm and awoke 6 hours after I went to sleep. I did get all the sections I wanted and I'm happy.
This trip's mission was a success.
Score a place to live....check
Register for classes....check.
This morning we went to The Duck Shop to buy memorabilia.
Dad got 4 shirts, I picked up a sweatshirt for my friend Chelsie, and got myself another sweatshirt and some shorts.
Oh, and we got Alley (my cat) a little Duke shirt...it's meant for little dogs...but I'm sure it will fit her.
After that, we walked around the campus and I felt out of place.
Everyone had somewhere to go and fit right in...but, they were students...so that makes sense.
After we went in the nursing building, we made our way back towards the chapel and ran into this cutie pie:
We saw this cute puppy roaming around on the lawn and were drawn to her immediately!
The lady holding her (the owner) is Claire Conceison. She is a theater professor at the University. She was just as friendly as her dog and we struck up a conversation (along with the young man in the back of the photo who PS: turns out to be a basketball player). I have never felt so welcomed on a campus. That feeling of not belonging just minutes earlier went away.
This will be a moment I know I will remember for years. She told me I could stop by her office anytime to visit her (or her dog).
Tomorrow we head towards Asheville. We have a stop along the way at Chimney Rock. Hopefully the rain will stop and allow us to see it's beauty.
