As my absent-minded husband has doubtlessly forgotten to mention, he was told last Sunday that he had to returned to the States to take his finals in order to graduate from Sophomore to Junior. He brought me along with him!!! We got in last night and now we're staying with his parents. It's great to have the chance to see his hometown and meet his friends. Americans, though, are really weird. I've seen guys start beating on each other just to say hello, I've eaten foods that have been so chemical processed that they have no nutritional value, and the two hookers I saw on a street corner were actually not hookers, that's just how teenage girls dress around here. And all in one day!! I mean, are all Americans insane?! Anyway, once you get past the culture shock (and Lord knows there's plenty of it), I really like here. The best part will be on Friday when finals are over, and I get to join Josh and his classmates for one of their school traditions: the all-night root-beer kegger! It's like an actual kegger with two differences: They only drink root-beer (no alcohol), and the local police are invited, regular guests.
