I Made It!

Well, I've made it to my third day here in the wonderful Aiken, SC. The University of South Carolina Aiken has a gorgeous campus and fast internet! It took me two days to get up here with my parents towing my car, but I'm really excited to finally start my internship. On Sunday I did some grocery shopping (Wal-Mart Supercenter is right across the street) and unpacked. Monday morning started way too early, but I'm officially badged. Today was my first day of really killing time and preparing my own food...not a good combination. I'm still alive, so that's a good sign! I can't wait for my classes to start on Thursday, I'm going to have Dr. Carvalho-Knighton for both classes! I'll be taking Intro to Environmental Science and Wetlands and Aquatic Ecology this semester.

Aiken has some amazing afternoon/early evening thunder storms...not like the ones I'm used to in Florida. I spent an hour at the AMAZING Wal-Mart today stocking up on random things I probably didn't need. The surge protector will hopefully save all of my electronics for the duration of my trip. I'll be sure to post pictures as soon as I take some.
