Look Out Knoxville

Well, it's happened. I am now living out of my home state of Arkansas. On the evening of Tuesday the 26th, my friends and family arrived and packed all of my earthly possesions into the back of a U-Haul trailer. (I humbly offered them pizza and beer in exchange...) With a lot of joking and hugs, I said goodbye to my friends and at the crack of dawn on Wednesday my mother, brother, and father escorted me to Knoxville, Tennessee. This tale will go down in the family history as The Great Graduate Trek that pitted us against the Road Construction from Hell a.k.a Memphis, more mountains than you could shake a stick at, and teaching my mother how to use a cell phone. It was both a fun and tiring trip.
I've now unpacked in my new apartment and I'm trying to figure out where all of the essential things are. Things like grocery stores, post offices, movie theaters, and the Ben & Jerry's Scoop Shop. I'm terrified of being alone here, but I'll face it when my Mom leaves for home this weekend. As long I I can keep myself occupied, maybe I can forget myself until classes start up. Wish me luck and I'll try to keep you all updated. Later!
