Nicole and Jason sitting around the fountainHola! So I've officially been a "Govie" for a week now and it's everything I'd thought it be and much more! It's shocking and terrifying and mind-blowing, and I'm pretty sure all of those words mean the same thing, but oh well. The classes are extremely hard. Well, extremely hard if you don't study and don't put in the effort it takes to succeed in this kind of environment. Note-taking is going to be so important it's scary. My AP US History teacher (Carlanna-she's beautiful) talks 80 miles an hour, but on the upside, it's not like class at all. It's more like story-hour with Granny. Oh my god... She's mind-blowing. All the other classes are as stimulating as Dr. Hendrick's, but they all serve their purpose.
So getting on to the point of my post: SYR. SYR is a Govie tradition that is many, many years old. SYR is short for "Set Up Your Roomie." It's basically like a date, but not ultimately. So it goes like this: A senior girl picks a junior guy and a senior guy picks a junior girl. The process the proceeds to the senior taking the junior to dinner somewhere in Hartsville and showing them around town after that. My SYR was this really smart, nice guy named Todd Eisenberger. My SYR and I went out with a whole bunch of SYRs and their seniors to a local restaurant (Bizzell's) and then hung out in a local park for a couple hours after that until it was time for the movie to start. We went to see 1408, a completely creepy, yet oddly fascinating movie. I loved it, though I did watch most of it with my hands over my eyes. Yeah, I know, I'm a scaredy-cat, but I live with it. Jason (a new friend) picked on me through the entire film. By the way, pictures of a few new friends are enclosed, Aunt Judi! So yeah, it's 1 in the morning and I'm awful tired. I think I'm going to hit the sack, seeing how I have plans to go shopping with Cari in the morning/later today and the parents are also coming to take me to dinner tomorrow night. Love you guys...

Thanks for the pictures of your friends. Good luck with the note taking, do you have computers in your dorm? I have come to see Gracie to get my "Gracie fix" in for a while. She has grown an inch since I last saw her. We are going over to see Laura & matt tonight. Laura went to the NC school of math & science in Durham. She's now a pediatrician & expecting in Jan.How was the family? I know they were excited to see you & versa=visa. Thinking of you, Aunt Judi
