What a difference a week makes

After one full week in Gainesville, I have a learned a few simple truths:

• As far as Gainesville is concerned, Tim Tebow is the chosen one
• I am now a pro at riding the bus
• Restaurants or stores that I thought went out of business in California, have simply moved to Florida (long live Hungry Howies!!!)
• If you live in a town that lives and breathes for college sports, you must either wear a jersey or T-shirt of that college on Fridays before the big game or be able to color coordinate your scrubs to match the school colors
• Mexican food is not your only option for late night snacks
• I am definitely in the south, and without a doubt, will return home with the thickest southern accent any of y'all have ever heard (and probably use words like "yes um, fixin', kin")

I am sure over the next six weeks I will be adding to this list but I think I have successfully learned what any newcomer should know in their first week. A shout out to all my peeps (inside joke) in Cali. I miss you already.
