hmm...
So I think I envisioned DC to be greater than it really is... I mean its not bad or anything, its just not the best place ever. I'm also begining to think that back home isn't as bad as I thought it was. I'm especially thinking this as I have to write about a culture I idntify myself with for my college writing class, and out of a list of about five different cultures, my professor seems to think the Mississippi Gulf Coast culture is the most promising one to write about...
...I'm begining to consider transfering to Tulane. The public transit here isnt all its cracked up to be. It takes forever to get places on the metro because every line goes through downtown. The bus system is confusing. I've gotten lost on it more often than I have riddeen it succesfully. And I might die this winter. I'm already freezing cold and its only september.
Also I'm getting really sick of all the redneck and racist jokes. I havn't gotten less than 8 in one day since I've been here.
I miss the friendleness of the south. My friends get creeped out when I find another friendly person--usually another southerner--and strike up a conversation with them.
what i miss the most though, and this may be sad, is the food. I didn't realize how big a factor that played until I got here. It's almost impossible to find good food here, and even more difficult to find good cheap food.
It'll probably get better, and don't get me wrong, I don't hate it here, but if it's still like this in the spring, I'm applying to Tulane... they'll probably give me more money since they understand ACT scores anyways...
