As I close in on 8 weeks here in Texas and the halfway point of my school program, I think a list is due to discuss the pro's and con's of this state.
Let's start with the bad:
1. The bugs. Honestly, if you thought the bugs where you live are bad...you have not seen anything until you've lived in the south. I killed a SCORPION in my house a few days ago. Yeah, that's right. Gabe found it first, was trying to play with it, but thankfully didn't get close enough to get stung. I, not knowing how to best kill a scorpion, could only grab my tennis shoe and slam that nasty thing. Forcefully, and many times. It was so gross, people!
2. The lack of seasons. It is currently STILL hitting the 80's 6 days out of 7 here. And it's almost Thanksgiving. Furthermore, it's almost December! My favorite season of Fall seems to have been skipped altogether. Summer here is hottest, then comes 'Winter' which is...hot. Also, the tree leaves don't change. Except to brown.
3. Humidity. And I thought KC was bad.
4. Gas prices. For being so known for its oil wells, Texas sure isn't cutting any breaks for its inhabitants to fill up.
There are some good things too:
1. The skies. Texas has the most beautiful sunsets and sunrises! I happen to be awake for both these days. It's very open and the clouds are always just right to catch the color of the sun on them.
2. Uh...um...I...Austin is cool. Too bad I can't go there more.
3. Gabe is here.
I think I'm in the wrong state.
Don't worry, I am doing alright overall. But I would be very thankful to live in the West in the future. : )
