quick aside--i LOVE living in indianapolis. it's a great blend of city and country. people are genuine, real, and just plain nice. this has been a wonderful experience, and i might even stick around here after i graduate. unless something better (like a husband or dream job) comes along. so, what i'm about to say is out of love.
anyway, here's why michigan is better:
1.weather isn't classified as "breaking news" unless they get over a foot of snow
2.when they do get snow, they have the equipment and manpower to take care of it
3.there are winter-related activities in which to participate during the inevitable winter weather
4,people in general know how to drive in snow and are thus well-equipped to live their normal lives
5.i can point to my home on my hand. out-of-staters LOVE that. i mean, they really get a kick out of it. "where are you from?" they ask. and i whip out my trusty HAND to show them. to their awe and admiration. i've made at least 2 friends this way.
6. seriously.
all that to say, we have a snow day today! in grad school. was not expecting that. however, it's almost 11 and i'm getting a little stir crazy. so the plan is to finish reading for one of my classes, catch an episode of "what not to wear" while i run on the treadmill (gotta look good), and then camp out at panera or borders for most of the afternoon. this is, as my mom would say, an introvert's holiday. i'm not really an introvert, but will make the most of it anyway.
a hearty "stay warm" to my indy friends, and "hope to see you soon" to those elsewhere. have a great day wherever this finds you!!
