I'm in!

I got the official acceptance letter from the NCSU graduate school today.  I had been assured that this crucial piece of the puzzle would go through easily, but I've been living with a little gnawing shred of anxiety until now.  Needless, to say, I sighed a huge breath of relief when getting this. So I'm flying to Raleigh on the 23rd.  I'll meet the department, find an apartment, and just try to figure the place out.  I really don't know what to expect, so if you know anyone in Raleigh, know of a good coffee shop, Thai restaurant, or dive bar - let me know.
