this shhhhh is BANANA'S

Hi y'all
I have spoken to some of you & you have said you don't mind if my blog is me moaning or complaining about my current environment, fair enough...but if you do want to complain then please DO!
1) why is it raining all of a sudden? It's such a remainder of home, but home I didn't mind if rained that's what you expect from the UK right? So I don't know what this Southern weather is playing at to tell the truth..
2) I NEED A STUDENT UNION or a Union night with good people and music to keep me sane! It's insane how these people are able to function but I guess if you haven't known anything 'better' you're not really missing out on anything. Yes there are clubs but I'm tired of the rubbish nights out that can go two ways...The Vista is an area made up of old warehouses that have been remade into clubs. 1) they are filled with old horny men & soldiers from Fort Jackson & ''wake music''
2)Five Points is 21+ and is made up of mainly pubs which are filled with underage horny drunkards & barley audible music...you see my problem..if not look at my facebook pictures, even and especially Union nights I have sweat dripping from my hair & neck, have a big grin on my face, or my mouth is wide open from laughing or singing..sometimes both...that is what you call a good time! Three nights in a row I have gone out & returned home with hair and makeup in tact..this shhhhhhh is BANANA'S!
3) Then there is Club Levels, haven't been there yet but it does not have a good rep. It's on the ''ghetto' side of town, basically most Afro Americans live there..kmt! Why does it make it ghetto because they live there, stereotypes...*try not to rant and rave Isha*..anyway it's the ghetto spot that most people are trying to keep me away from, simply because I am British I will find it abit too unclean? Ok?!?!? I want someone to dance with a shout "From the window, to the wall...to sweat drops down...etc" etc...see people nearly make Love In the Club...! But it's not safe! :(
I wish I was a person who could stay in and watch films and go to sleep a happy person but I can't!
Right so many of you are probably thinking go somewhere woman and see places! There is not much to see in Columbia, I haven't or really anyone to drive me anywhere & MONEY is not in abundance at the mo! It should be easy to find someone with a car right? Wrong they have cars, but many Americans have not been socialised into thinking ''ok this foreigner must be bored out of their skull let me show them around''. Many of them here seem fascinated that you are an exchange student but that's s far as it goes...Sorry maybe I am being moany, but hey all my karma should be coming back to me right now, for being eager with people I meet...I don't know call me crazy...
Yes I hear you saying ''give it time, things will change, it' just the beginning, when they find out how much fun you are things will change'' I hear you I hear you, but try and put yourself in my position..ok take yourself out of it, it's saddening right!

But hey, I'm going to Charleston next weekend for a historical day trip, which will probably have me foaming at the mouth at about how inhumane the Southerners are, but hey at least I won't be on campus, then three days after that will be Fall Break...hopefully going to Jacksonville Florida...so maybe this is just a bad week..or maybe not
Enjoy fresher's week people & let me know how second year treats you.Take lots of pictures to make me jealous & miss you even more, it's ok.... I will live...suicide is frowned upon in the Southern states, don't want to upset anyone ;)
