The Last Week of Summer 2008
katherinemiller August 13th, 2008
Next Wednesday, my mother and I will be hurtling down I-81 through the Old Dominion and Tennessee and onto Vandy. I’m moving in a few days earlier than the upperclassmen move-in (Saturday) to get cracking on some stuff related to The Vanderbilt Hustler, the campus newspaper (which you probably know, but “The Hustler” is something it really doesn’t hurt to qualify a little more). Right now, though, I’m at the beach in Captiva, Florida:
I’ll post a few taken with my Rebel later this week, which I can’t do right now since I (stupidly) left my card reader at home by accident. We’re staying on the bay side of the island, which is about a seven minute walk from the beach (…it’s a very thin barrier island on the Gulf Coast). My grandparents are rolling in from the Orlando area today, and we’re going fishing tomorrow and Friday with my uncle and cousins who live in Ft. Myers–so, fun times all around. I actually just went over and got a Diet Coke at my fav place on this island: The Island Store.
It features a sign like so “Need a penny? Take a penny. Need 2 pennies? Get a job.” So, clearly, quality. Anyway, that’s my week here, but either later today or tomorrow, I’m going to post about Housing, how it works, what’s good, my half-experience with the Commons, and so on.
