Mississippi!
OK, let's start at the beginning. The drive down here was SO LONG and Jill and I were both so tired. We had to play games to keep ourselves awake. (Plus, I liked when Jill drove better than when I drove lol).
Anyway, we got here and it was hot, but let me tell you, the people here are so freaking nice it is unbelievable. Southern hospitality is not a myth. Neither is the heat. I'm a Michigander! I'm used to it being about 75 in the sun.
Also, the day before Jill left was touch and go on whether or not I would cry, it was just all so overwhelming, between leaving everyone I know and love to coming here where I knew virtually no one... I was just very sad.
However, since then, training has been going on every single day and I cannot begin to tell you how much I love the people here. We have a lot of fun in training and I am SO excited for the RAs and residents to move in. I'm even (kinda) getting used to the heat. This is going to be a good year, I can feel it.
The only bad part to all of this is how much I miss everyone in MI. I miss Roadhouse Tuesdays, I miss hanging out with my friends doing nothing, I miss going over to my grandparents' to have coffee at 8 at night, and God, do I miss that boy. At least I will be seeing some of you in a couple of weeks!
It's a huge change and I'm still adjusting. It's easier because every person here has at least one person far away that they miss terribly. And it helps knowing some of them are going through the same, 'I can't wait to be home,' mentality that I have. I love being here, I just wish I could have brought everyone with me.
How's that for a bipolar update?
