Observations through my Glasses

                If you know me pretty well, you are probably aware that I am a fairly observant person. If you didn't know this about me, well, you learned something new this evening. I LOVE to people watch and observe my surroundings. I take pleasure in it, actually. So. I thought I would inform you all of what I have observed thus far from living in the Fort Worth area. Hehe, fun time. 

Observations

1) 7/11s and QTs: I believe I have stated this before, but I shall reiterate this for you all: They are wonderful places of magic, hope, and wonder. We don't have those back in Houston so it's like the gas station equivalent of Six Flags to me. They have Big Gulps and Amps for cheap. I adore the egg salad sandwiches at 7/11. They make my tummy smile on the inside. Check it out sometime.

2) There are no trees here. It is quite barren, actually. Back down in Houston, they have massive pine trees that could put the trees of the forests of Endor to shame.... okay... bit of an exaggeration, but I thought you all would enjoy my indulgent hyperbole. However, yes, there are patches of trees in certain areas, but, for the most part, Fort Worth is pretty open. Not much shade to be had.

3) People smile here. That's right! SMILE. I know that is almost unheard of in Houston, but up here, it's socially acceptable to show happy emotion towards another human being. I have only been up here for less than a week, but so far, I have decided that people are nicer here overall.

4) The cops are hardcore. I swear. I am going to get a ticket up here for going the speed limit. They are EVERYWHERE. Not only that, they are actually doing their job of pulling people over. The highways only go up to 60mph max, and a cop will be chillin' offside the road with his little radar gun, waiting to catch poor, sorry souls, like myself, off guard. It is bound to happen. I really need to break the habit of going 5mph. They will catch me... and they will ticket me.

5) People seem pretty proud of their Dallas teams. I see Cowboys, Mavs, and Rangers shirts and jerseys everywhere. They take more pride in their Dallas teams than Houstonians do of Houston teams. Heeheeeeeeee. My kind of people.

6) At school, people hold the door open for one another. Just saying.

7) The air is drier here. 


                  So that's all I can think of right now, but I'm pretty sure I could come up with more eventually. 

                  There is more where that came from.

I'M BAAAAAAAACK

WELL.

            It has been forever. I know. The reason being is because my computer blocked me from my  my blog for a ridiculously long time. Thankfully, it has been resolved... since I'm using a new laptop.

                WHERE SHALL I BEGIN??!!!!!
                       
         Let me start by saying that:
1) I should be sleeping right now. I am on a sleeping schedule for school once more so I am feeling really tired... and it's only 11:45. I'm allowing myself until midnight to finish tying this out. Challenge. ACCEPTED.

2) Recap on life: I moved to Fort Worth, Texas. Reasons for such a move are not necessary details so I will just say that I needed a change in my life. 

3) I missed blogging so much!!!

           So let's go.

           I have been blessed so much in the past week. My life turned upside down for the better, and I am living in a place where there is so much love and compassion. I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay.

           I am going to a new school, and yes, nursing is still my intended degree. I am taking five classes this semester: Chem, Stats, History, Govt., and English 2. This is super exciting since you all are aware (or should be) that I love to be in perpetual NERD MODE. I am in my element, and it's exciting. *gets giddy*

           I will be keeping up with school and life just like I used to........ before my stupid internetz decided it didn't like me. I have so much to say once more, and I can't wait to say it all. 




             Yeah. I'm back in the blogging game.
