America, suburbia in particular, is so funny. Funny weird-lame-can't believe it-weird funny.
Just the other day, I went to starbucks to get a caramel apple cider, and I kept stuttering or something along those lines, and the first thing the barista said was, "Jeeze, you must not have had your caffeine this morning!"
Don't get me wrong, nothing is wrong with that.
But it SO is.
We live in a place where 'if you don't have your daily coffee, you can't function.' Some part of that puzzles me, and I'm not sure if it is the fact that we all believe we're dependent on something, or if we really are. And really, what would happen if suddenly all the coffee disappeared??? Everyone would probably be hung over/withdrawling/headachy/crazy without it...but I wonder if it's just mental?
It's amazing to me how someone can go up to the counter or drive through, now that's just lazy, and order a "Caramel macchiato, triple shot, non-fat, part soy, 2 pumps cinnamon dulce, not too hot, hold the caramel, hold the macchiato, and add some whip cream" and it's perfectly normal. It's not normal, it's crazy.
Crazy how everything is so developed into this...place...If somebody gets my order wrong, and I spill it, because it tastes gross, God forbid, I'll just sue their asses.
How wrong is that??!?!?
and It's NORMAL!
And the shopping centers.
Oh the shopping centers. Strip malls, shopping malls, outdoor shopping centers, discount stores, outlets, kiosks, et cetera et cetera et cetera.
"Dear me, if I live without my Northface and my Uggs, well....I don't think I COULD live." "What will I do if Daddy won't buy me the $100,000 sports car so I can look cool? Hmm....I might run away, or go to the police and say I'm being mistreated"
....Suburbia. Or maybe it's just Cupcake Land. It has the name for some reason, doesn't it?
On a brighter note!
The 25 hrs are going well. Two weeks and I'll be done with first semester of Surg. Tech! YAY!
Chem and Bio are okay...Bio is way better than Chem...maybe it's because I like the bio lab and not the chem lab? Whatever. Speaking of bio, I found out that for one of my assignments I'm shooting a potential roller derby-er, who happens to be my bio professor! Talk about sick!
Orchard is fun. Really fun still. I have a bajillion apples everywhere...they're practically coming out my ears! But this way I get to make apple butter, sauce, cider, crisp, pie, cobbler, and the list goes on. mmmmm
Boston in 29 days. Austin in 22. YAY!
Ah, and another plan in the works:
Move back to Boston no matter what. No matter if I can pay for it next year or not. I already have enough money saved up to pay 6 months rent and utilities. Live at the rugby house with Miss Jennifer Fleser, and work at one of the hospitals as a scrub tech. I'm hoping to interview/speak with people up there when I go....let's hope I can get in!
Anyway, more at some point. When life is a little more exciting? :)
