some thoughts about wheaton part one.
1. people are surprisingly nice. i expected the "rude northern" attitude, but i've encountered quite the opposite. the normal everyday wheaton citizen will hold the door open for you when you walk out of the store rather than allow it to slap you in the face. it's not quite up to par with southern hospitality, but it's not what i expected from the north either.
2. the weather is crazy here. we actually sat outside today when we went to lunch. the temps were in the 70s all day. not quite the sultry august i'm used to.
3. i can't ignore one of the main aspects of illinois...no, it's not chicago style pizza or the cubs. it's the ACCENT. the nasal, in your face, accent that can't be ignored. i know i will eventually get used to it, but right now i miss being surrounded by drawls and southern slang. i will just have to listen to some country music every now and again to get my fix. :)
well, these are just a few of my initial thoughts. i'll update the list as time goes on.
