This is the only photo I took of the campus, but the University of Missouri is beautiful. There are flowers and kittens all over the place. It's also HUGE. I did find the library, however, and I think most of my classes will be there or a building nearby.
I found a great apartment, too! It's two bedrooms and in a safe part of town and I get to take Abby with me. We didn't have much trouble getting around town, either, and even found a great place to have burgers and beer. Yes, there are great pubs all over the place, so now I have to find some drinking buddies. Did I mention there are also ice cream places everywhere? What more could you want! And speaking of the place, Auntie Linda and I couldn't get over how friendly everyone is. They go out of their way to be helpful. We were driving through the mall parking lot (Emily, the MALL is near my apartment!) and we couldn't find a parking space, and this dude walked in front of our car and pointed to a car and said he was leaving and we could have his parking space. We were stunned. People talked to us while we were in line at the ice cream place, and everyplace we went we felt welcome. So, to wrap it up, good apartment, beer, ice cream, and friendly folks. Who wants to come and visit me?

Wow! It sounds absolutely perfect. I'm excited for you.
Best of luck in the "Show Me" state.
Me, me, me. I should be in the area before Christmas!
That does look like a beautiful campus. And it sounds like all your arrangements fell into place perfectly and how nice to live somewhere where the people are that nice.
University towns are always the best towns to live in anyway.
flowers and KITTENS? do they not have an SPCA there? that might be a sign for you, nessa! maybe they have a cat breeding problem. you should definitely check into that before moving there. promise?
