Day 1=EPIC

Ok. So, we started off the day with a Western Civ exam at 9:00 am. How did it go? Well, lets just say it probably could have gone better. However, it was not terrible. Whitney had a UCF exam right after that which she feels pretty confident about, so that is good. After the exams, we got the car around and loaded up the last few things, and then headed to Loew-Brenn for a quick lunch, and then off we went! Oh! But before that, Whitney had a little mishap and was almost decapitated by the trunk, but it's all good and she still has her head firmly attached to her body.
We started out our trip with me driving and there was smooth sailing until we hit Columbus and almost died once because people do not know how to drive! (Ok, I exaggerate, we did not almost die, but people need to watch where they are going.)
We decided that we would play a Justin Bieber song on the 17th minute of every hour we spend in the car and take a picture to document. This went well and we have many blurred photos to prove our dedication :).
The trip was pretty uneventful until we got a call from Yvette, Whitney's aunt, that she had tore a tendon in her leg, so she would need surgery in the morning. This screwed up our plans of going to Galax, but instead we went to their lovely home in North Carolina. We had a great time chatting with them and we are excited about the things we will do tomorrow. It also turned out better that we came here, because the weather is much warmer and better to walk around and enjoy the town in.
As we were driving, we went through West Virginia (The Epic Fail State). First of all, the state's layout is just plain ugly and all the places we drove through looked rundown and shabby. We stopped at a promising rest stop (promising only because of the Starbucks inside) to get a quick supper and coffee. The cashier at Burger King was a stereotypical redneck: missing teeth, notable accent, and a mullet. We would classify him as a creeper. And then, there was this nice man who took our picture for us and he asked us where we were from and we answered with just Indiana. He said he had just come from Indianapolis and then he asked us if he pronounced Terre Haute right. We answered that he did, and he replied with "I have always wondered how to say it". Hahahaha :)
We finally made it to NC and we are now checking facebook and in a short bit will watch an episode of Grey's Anatomy or two. :)
