Day 75, 74: Dueling Banjos

As an aside, I am temporarily changing title tradition due to my displacement in North Carolina. So, time flies these days doesn't it? I'm busy kicking ass and taking names in T-town, and then BAM! (as Emeril would say) I find myself wandering around Wilkesboro, North Carolina. In a matter of hours I will begin my internship with Lowe's Inc. I'm pretty excited about it. I have been put in a Holiday Inn Express, so I am naturally mentally prepared. Anyway, I spent the weekend leading up to my stay in Wilkesboro with Daniel and Mark in Raleigh/Durham. It was a lot of fun. I didn't get to chat very much with Karen which sucked, but I did get to hang out quite a bit with Mark. I hadn't seen him in so long, and it was really great just piddling around with him for a weekend. I visited Duke, and wow was it fantastic. I really loved the campus there. In general, North Carolina has been amazing. Day 75 saw me go to the blue ridge parkway with Daniel. It was a pretty cool experience. We hiked a bit, got some cool pics, and continued on to Boone where we visited App St. It was a pretty cool campus, and we went on to blowing rock and it was picturesque. I think this place reminds me a bit of Everwood, with more amenities. It's quaint though, and I think that I could be happy here. It might be a challenge finding a mate here, but I only plan to work for a couple of years anyway before I attempt an MBA. Today, 74 came and went without a lot of happenings. I stayed most of the day doing small things. I put all my clothes away and hung them up, did the grocery shopping, and all the normal garb along with taking care of some issues with my college recruiter from Lowe's. Wilkesboro, where I'll be holed up for the next 74 days, is not a great town, but the surrounding areas are enough to be stoked about. There I go ending a sentence with a preposition, shame on me. Anyway, I really hope that I like my work. I'm really looking forward to it. Well, I'm off to bed. I have to get up soon, and I think I need to sleep as much as possible. Good night neverland.
