Shhh! Don't Tell My Parents....

Things I miss about the south.
What you thought that I was going to write something controversial and post it on the internet?

I never thought this would happen but it has, after being outside of Boston for a month and a half I've started to miss some of the things about the south. Here they are in list form:

My best friend
My family
Having friends in general
Fat Tire and Crystal River Hot Sauce
Buying Beer at the Grocery Store
Central Heating and Air
Driving with the windows down, (the weather makes it hard to do here).
People smiling at me randomly on the street
Strangers striking up conversation with me in stores
Being able to roll up my sleeves outdoors

Here is what I don't miss:
Not having a job
Feeling like my life was going nowhere
The heat
Mosquito Bites
Tourists
Driving 30 minutes to get to a study spot
Southern Accents
Living with my parents
Being held up for long periods of time because I'm too nice to end conversations.
Police with nothing better to do then pull over black people.

Life is good, for the most part, in these parts. I enjoy it. I made really great dinner tonight. I am finishing assignments for class. I have been meeting people. It's just slow going. I love my job, I love the weather. I like the people. I just need a chance to establish myself.
