Southern Charm

Many New Yorkers have told me that Maryland is a southern state. Being from Maryland, I know that Maryland is a mid-Atlantic state. Never have I been more sure of this than now. Life here in North Carolina is decidedly more southern than it is in Maryland.

I have to say, this place is beautiful. The local college campus is hidden behind the trees. Campus is green and well-kept with stunning architecture. A towering stone chapel is visible from nearly everywhere.



Local traffic is light, although this may be an artifact of the pre-school season. Everyone on campus has been friendly and helpful, which I cannot say of the people at my undergraduate institution. To top it off, my apartment is great(I'm now accepting visitor applications).

There's plenty to say about how a lot of things aren't open on Sunday that would be in Maryland, or how slow things seem to be here, but I think these are illusions in my head. Class starts next week. There'll be nothing slow after that.
