oh Carolina!

So let me paint the picture for you. By yourself in a hotel in the middle of West Columbia, South Carolina watching American TV showing everything from Opra’s view on the Obama campaign, to sophisticated TV pawn broking of personal item, to “varsity football”. You realise that hey this is another world. Fell asleep whilst waiting for Chinese to be delivered *got to love the Internet, if it was not for it I would be a goner, have you seen how small I am, my mum did not put me on a plane to perish within 24hours, no Sirry*
So American football, making me heavily anticipate my first match that I will go by the end of next week, aswell as start “lessons” at the same time, even though guys haven’t dreamed of going back to lectures…oh well the difference is I will be going to lectures in 70degrees plus :)
When I got to Atlanta at 1pm *6pm London time*, I started singing to myself “welcome to Atlanta where the players play & we ride on *&%$ nearly everyday”. Atlanta’s airport was nice, very spacious and efficient and I soon boarded for South Carolina. I think that people here can see when you’re not from the State or America in general. It took a while to realise that I was stick thin and looked different from many of the women who were working in the airport… shall come back to that another time
Flight to South Carolina was beautiful at 27,000 feet above the ground, so I could see the little blue circles that sat behind most of the houses J need to get a friend with a pool in their backgarden mayne! Columbia Metropolitan Airport was quaint & I was met there by Woody, no not from Toy Story but from the University’s welcome service *they take this college football serious here, like our Premiership, just saw an advert to buy the ESPN package for $109 to watch 12 matches each Saturday, these guys are in high demand, might have to get me one of them J*
Woody drove me to my hotel and I got myself acquinted and had to get in touch with my “mom” asap….
Just want to say some holdtights *copyright of MisterLego* or should I say shout outs…To every who I did and did not speak to before I left, all of you I saw and spoke to the night before, thanks for the texts messages that were sent even though I was in the middle of nowhere, probably by Alaska or something. Let me how things are for you all respectively..I am your canvas and will be seeing if the stereotypes that exist on either side of the Atlantic prevail..to let you know the good bad & the ugly…and to let you know that all is not well…lol am expecting some rough times similar to first year in regards to sleeping lol
(this was boring …but more shall come)
