well here i am in blacksburg. the drive up was terrible! it was so damn hot, and of course my little car doesn't have AC. i was roasting the whole trip. and i was worried about daphne in the backseat... "is she too hot? is she getting too much wind? is she getting enough fresh air?". and there was traffic on the beginning stretch of 66, so the trip ended up taking about an hour longer than it should've. but then i got here!! and i showered, and went to bed early, yay!

i didn't really do anything today. i kinda laid around. but i did go look at a place, and decided that's where i'm going to live next year. it's in ramble ridge. it should work out really well :) everyone's really nice, and they like animals, and they're serious about their school work (two are grad students). i kinda can't wait to finally have an apartment.

i'm leaving tomorrow for north carolina, and my awesome internship. it should be an ok drive, it's only about 3.5 hours. i'm kinda down right now, lonely, bored, and missing dan like *crazy*. it should all get better tomorrow though, because i'll be at CPT and it's my dream internship. i can't wait! it's really going to be great. and dan let me take his digital camera, so i'm going to have an unbelievable number of pictures when i get back :)

i won't have internet access though, so i won't be posting for about six weeks. i'm writing several people though :) i figure i'll have the time, so i might as well. i'll miss dan terribly though... but i'll have a great time, and i'm sure once i get there, the six weeks will (unfortunately) *fly* by.

i think i'll get to sleep now. i'd like to get an early start tomorrow :)
