A Brief History of the Southern Language

Hey ya'll! I'm in Georgia and absolutely love it. I think I'll break away from my traditional thoughtful blog entries this time so I can let everyone know what I've been up to these past few days at school. I successfully moved in (it only took three trips to Walmart). And I'm having a great time. The only downside is that we have to attend these really long and boring meetings to orient us to life at Toccoa. Fortunately the seats in chapel are comfortable and they dim the lights. 

The people here are so nice. I love meeting everyone and learning a little about who they are. I also like people's reactions when I say I'm from California. I do not surf but I have some vague ties to celebrities and live pretty close to Hollywood and the beach. So I guess that is pretty impressive out here. I've already made so many new friends. It is fantastic. 

The weather hasn't been too unbearable though it was pretty hot today. And it is certainly a lot stickier than what I'm used to. I feel a little like I'm walking into a slightly broken sauna. But we have air conditioning in our room so I'll live. 

I think that is about all I have to say about life in Georgia for now. Oh, I almost forgot, I am so gonna pick up an accent. I'm already saying y'all.
