Where I Live

I thought you may be interested to know where I am living at the moment.

First off, I am in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.. which is probably most famous for the movies Dirty Dancing, the Notebook and the series One Tree Hill. Mostly, it is famous for NASCAR. I have a sweet NASCAR lanyard for my keys... lanyards are cool here.


This is my room

My side of the room

Amanda's side

Of course, Amanda and I are the tidiest people you know so the room is always spotless. I actually couldn't ask for a better room mate - we get on so well and have the same habits!

I went through Uni the other day and took some photos for you - unfortunately it was the first cloudy day in a long time so it doesn't look as nice as it usually does - it was 16deg celsius and everyone was shivering! I laughed when I logged onto facebook and saw updates from Invercargill from people saying how excited they were that it was going to get to 14deg!

Walking through Frat Court - the frats were "pre-gaming" as there was a football game on

Looking back into Frat Court - the big building at the very back behind the trees is my tower at Granville towers

Carolina Inn

Some of Campus - I walk down here to get to class usually.

The military building - it's not uncommon to see the army training around here. At every football game we have to stand up and honour the army as well.

The mascot at UNC is a ram - this is outside the football museum

Waiting for the football game to start against Virginia - we won! Tar...Heels!!!

Your standard dress code at UNC

Nicole alone in "the pit". This is usually packed full of students during the school week, libraries, stores and dining halls surround it.

This is one of the buildings I have lectures in - Hanes Hall. The buildings are all named after slaves that built them - their graves are behind my friend Claire's dorm... slightly creepy.

Flagpole in the middle of campus

SQUIRREL!

A fancy building.. I think it's a library

The Old Well

A cool looking church on Franklin St (the main st)

Looking down the main street

Rameses the Ram pops up everywhere on Game Day - You also have to wear a game day tshirt or else you're shunned haha

Our friend Eryk got into the media pit with his camera at the game and shot some really cool photos like this one

Our tower at Granville - we are on the bottom floor

And so that's my life here in NC summed up in a few photos - I'm off to Miami for fall break and looking into a trip to Cancun in Mexico with the girls from my floor sometime in November. Time is going so fast!!!!

Hope you are well
