"It just didn't grab me..."
.. Allison replied to my question about Elon. "Nothing here tells me this is the place." I could do nothing but shrug and turn toward the parking lot. One college down, three more to go.
Elon University is a really pretty campus: close cropped green lawns, red brick buildings, everything in good repair and in tiptop condition. A handsome gymnasium, a theater with lots of tech toys, living amenities, the works. An easy walk to the kitschy Elon shops, and short drive into greater Burlington. Really nothing wrong that I can see.
Except it doesn't grab her. Sigh.
Not that this has been a wasted day. The weather's been cool, good for strolling past the ivy and the resident tree rats. Everyone's been friendly, and we had a killer chocolate cake at lunch. And best of all I'm not at work- so the day is a clear winner.
Hey, maybe Furman will catch her fancy. Here we come, Greenville!
