Here's the latest culture-shock timeline:
Week 1. I go to a farm to collect dry-ish pumpkin leaves because I want to cook with them. I feel pity for the little place, so I buy a pumpkin too. Pumpkin rots before I can cook it OR carve it. Fed it to the compost pit. wtf, food doesn't last forever in America?
Week 3. I finally get added back to the cellphone plan, plus a new phone that has a little keyboard on it. Yay internets/data plan! No celebration for Halloween. I have to think of a costume? Too much work.
Week 7. Bought a computer - yeah! First laptop in 3 years. It's pretty fast, enjoying my i5 processor and free OpenOffice applications. It is a hp, so its name is harry potter.
Week 12. Dashing through the snow... A. and I meet and eat tons of yummy Indian food, then go shopping and I snag $70 jeans for $20 (they look fabulous). Then I lose my wallet. business (almost) as usual! Christmas approaching and I have many plans brewing. Preparing myself to move in with the boyfriend. He is preparing to deal with crazy heating bills because I get cold too easily. But says he is ready, because it is a small price for love.
