Ok, so I've been getting some flack for not really blogging when I was in New Hampshire. Sorry! It was hard to make time for it when I didn't have internet access in my home. New England was great, but I am definitely glad to be in the Midwest. My last few months were filled with working, trying to de-stress from working, going to Boston on the weekends, see Les Miserables (one of my favorite musicals) and working on where my next assignment will be. My dear friend from Sioux falls who now lives in Boston, Jess and I came up with a list of differences between New England and the Midwest:
1. Pop is called soda
2. All eggs are brown-not white- in the grocery store
3. Sprinkles are called Jimmies
4. When you are done with a meal or don't need any more assistance, you simply say "I'm all set"
5. Everything really cool or big is 'wicked' cool or 'wicked' big.
6. Peanut butter and fluff (marshmallow fluff) are the new peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
7. Purses are called pocket books
8. Umbrellas are used not only when it's raining, but also when it's windy or slightly snowing.
Thank you to all my family and friends for prayers and support as I've been gone and traveling. I have the rest of this week off and then I am out to the small town of Canby, MN. I'm really excited to practice in a rural setting (a little bit of everything to see as a PT) and to be closer to home!
