I'm Still Here!

By "here" I mean in the blogosphere, not in Spain. Because I'm in Atlanta now. Sorry I've been crappy about keeping this up for the past week... I am getting back into the swing of things, working on finding a job, hanging out with my friends, and I'm staying somewhere that doesn't have internet. Oh yeah, I also haven't really thought of much to write about.

Here's something moderately interesting (kind of, maybe not really): I was driving today and looked over at the car next to me and the lady in there was smoking. That's not really the weird part–the weirdness is that I thought it was weird. Which makes that the first time in over five months that I've seen someone smoking and thought it was strange. If you've been to Spain, you know that A LOT of people there smoke. It's not as bad as it was in the past, but it's definitely noticeable. Another thing about smoking in Spain is that it crosses gender, race, and class lines that it doesn't cross here so much. The result is that pretty much no one in Spain looks weird smoking (ok, probably if I saw a baby lighting up, that would be weird), but an older woman puffing away in her car in the U.S. made me do a double take.

Yesterday was the coldest day of the year and today I sat outside in a short-sleeved sweater. And if you know me, you know I can't stand even one little smidgin of coldness, so trust me when I say it was unusually warm today.
