Trip Log 2

Trip Log 2

Okay, so we left about 7:30 this morning to drive to my mom's friend and pick her up (in this awesome rental car we have whoop!) and get started on our road trip!

We got to Tennessee around 1:05, and our tour was at 1:30, so we went inside the visitors center and walked around there, (got such a cute picture) and kind of got the feel of what the campus was really about.

We started with a 20 minute presentation with a guy named Michael about the logistics of the school and scholarships and student life and what not.

Then we got our tour guide, named Megan, and she came and gave us buttons that say future vol (which is short for volunteers btw took me a while) and have our name on it. It was super official, and freaked me out. I mean, I already have my name on something that says "Future vol??"

Then we got on a bus ride, and took about 20 minutes with Megan pointing out things to us along the way. I didn't like it very much though, because you couldn't really see out of the window where I was sitting. Bummer. it was kind of cool listening to her talk because she is a senior in a PR (Public Relations) major which is what I want to get into! Then we got off the bus and had an hour long walking session. We first walked to the residential buildings that they had (the oldest ones they had that Megan told us where build in the 1960s, and were going to be tore down in the next 5 years). The dorms were a comfortable size, though the bathrooms were a little small.

Then we walked to another dorm, passed a Catholic Church and the Catholic meeting place (and Baptist house etc.) and went to their huge library that has so much its almost too much.

Then we drove a little over 4 hours to Georgia, and are staying in a Best Western that was given 7 stars... though it should probably have  been 4 with what we're seeing.

So now I'm typing this all out and thinking about my day, making my pros and cons list for Tennessee, and all of this is so crazy. I can't believe that I even have to start thinking about college. Its crazy, and its bothering me.

Anyways, off to sleep and have a bright new day, and a new tour around Georgia! Go Bulldogs?
