Day 1

Today, I experienced something I had not yet. I wasn’t expecting it, but there I was, motionless. Stuck behind a red car. I was experiencing rush hour traffic for the first time. What could have been a 20 min drive was a 45 min drive. For the first time in my life, I realized who actually looked at billboard signs. It’s people in traffic. Corona? Orange Vanilla Coke? Those are the new drinks whose posters I enjoyed while taking a break from looking at that red car.

Despite all of this, I got to Durham early. I turned right into the parking lot, passing the bull statue. After I arrived, I walked down the stairs to the building. Passing the hotel, on the opposite side of the street, you see a clear door. Through the doors, you can spot a wooden staircase going up. I ring the doorbell like the sign told me to do, and was met with a friendly smile guiding me up to the couches. The couches became Cate and I’s workplace, as we each reviewed copies of super cool articles.

For lunch, Cate and I went to Neomonde and ate very good chicken kabobs! After we got back, we met with our host, Mr. Billman, and coordinated our plans for the rest of the week.
