I've arrived!

     After counting down for 173 days.. I have arrived in Atlanta! My day started at 3 45 am, so I am a little tired but otherwise feeling well. We (my parents and I) flew from Halifax, to Toronto, to Atlanta, pretty much without any problems. US Customs went very smoothly, after a game of 20 questions with the clearance officer. We arrived here at around 12pm (1pm in NS), picked up the convertible dad rented for us (his idea... not ours!), and went to the Sheraton. After a small mix up with hotel rooms, they gave us an awesome room with access to their VIP lounge... and let me say it is amazing! There is lots of free food and Starbucks, free internet, and a bunch of little extras. After getting settled in we had lunch at Ruby Tuesdays, and then went swimming in a half indoor, half outdoor pool. The day has been going really well so far!


     One thing I have noticed about Atlanta is that the people here are very friendly. Everyone I have met has gone out of their way to say hello, help us with directions, or just offer their assistance in any way. I can already tell I am going to love this city, the people, and their accents! I don’t start at Masters until Saturday when we move in and have orientation. Until then it will be shopping for apartment things, sightseeing, and just hanging out with my parents. I will let you know how everything goes, and blog about it hopefully next Monday... please remember me in your prayers, that this transition goes smoothly!
