Opening Day at GSW

Governor's School West. Hmmm....

Okay, so the day started with me waking up at six in the morning to finish packing (it isn't even like I was procrastinating (it was just a lot to pack (c'mon, it's five and a half weeks long))). Anyway, I finished packing and we were out of the house between eight thirty and nine, regardless of the fact that my mother wanted to leave by eight. My family is slow.

The ride was painless. It's in Winston-Salem at Salem college, which is about an hour and seventeen minutes from my house. I slept, literally, the whole time.

We got there a little before ten, which is when people were supposed to start arriving. We had to wait a little bit though, and so we unloaded the car that was practically filled to the brim with my things. When we were able to go in, I got my key, some paperwork, and went directly to my dorm room.

  The campus is beautiful, despite the buildings being somewhat old and decrepit. This is Clewell Dormitory, where I'm staying.

It wasn't much to look at, and even now, with me being unpacked and organized, it still isn't anything to really admire. I arrived before my roommate, and so I got to pick out which bed I wanted, which was nice. Apparently I made the wrong choice though, according to my sister and mother. For starters, my roommate can look directly out the window and see the goings-ons outside. Also, my bed blocks a door that leads to our neighbors' room, which is apparently scary. Despite these two things, I slept like a baby last night (maybe I slept too well, since I woke up later than I had wanted)...

I took lots of pictures for you!
