I Like Norman

Today, I took a deep breathe and enjoyed my surroundings. It is terribly fun to people watch around OU.

Point One. There’s diversity. American Indians, African Americans, International Students galore, second generation immigrant students, Hispanic groups. Two girls of indeterminable ethnicity walked passed me today talking excitedly in Spanish, and I saw two other girls wearing head-coverings.

Point Two. Not everybody is rich. OU does have its share of SUVs and so forth, but even the sorority girls don’t wear Prada. They totally can’t even pull off those silly goalashes like the scary girls at my last school.

Point Three. The professors actually seem to like me. The work is good. Class work is good. Aerobics is good… Okay, I can barely move, and apparently, the ibuprofen isn’t working, but that probably means that is good too.

At this point, I need to thank God for all the great opportunities. It’s truly been good.

Yea!

Celebrate by walking around Campus Corner and visiting their quirky shops. Maybe duck into Hideaway for slice of bbq chicken pizza while you’re at it. And then head down Main Street to my favorite 7-11 in the world (the one with the old school fuel pumps) and grab the world’s best Pepsi Slushie.

And think of me. O:)

I’m so glad you like it there…I did, too (although you seem to like the school aspect of the town much more than I did…que sara.). I’m happy for you!
