Turn Signals

Dear The Other Drivers Here,

Our cars are equipped with these things called turn signals. Their purpose is to let the cars behind you know when you are going to turn or change lanes. Please use them.

Thank you!

Amazing Things

Yay! I can log on to my blog again. It wouldn't let me for a while. Anyway, hello. I am very tired. My grad program is amazing.

So I've been here for over two weeks now. Here's a partial list of the things that are amazing about living in Virginia:

• Taking my groceries in the car, instead of carrying them blocks and blocks
• Doing laundry in the apartment
• Having my own, private, air-conditioned mode of transportation
• Cheap stuff, like a box of cereal for $2.99
• Hearing Southern accents all the time
• Pretty mountains
• The fact that there is a restaurant in town dedicated to chicken and waffles
• Cubbies! My grad program gave each of us a cubby
• Sitting on porches at night
• Theme parties with my awesome classmates
• The cool coffee place nearby

Also, my neighbor has a rooster. That was amazing for about two days, until it started crowing. Now it is not amazing. 

Okay, I have to go to a thing. Being here is great!
