So I have been in the city for about 5 or 6 weeks. I am not a big fan of the city itself but I have met a lot of really cool people. I am not sure if that makes sense or not. My car got broken into less then 2 weeks of me here. The people cannot drive and a lot of people here are rude. I guess that can be expected from a metropolitian city. It is kindof a cultural shock for being from the east coast and being from the south where everyone says hi to you if they look your way. A lot of things are overprice including the natural hair stylist. But I am determine that I will find a stylist while I am here.
The roommates are ok, and I have one coworkers that I can honestly live without. but hey. I am not a big fan of coming to work and having (two in particular) coworkers think they are better than you and.or smarter than you, and constantly belittling you. We all make the same amount of money. Granted they may have been here longer, but that doesnt mean anything. After looking at their resume and comparing mines, I have experienced more and done more then them and they are older than me. My mother says that she beleives they may be jealous. 2 of my corkers that I am close with I beleive they are jealous of them two. I just pray to God and ask him to give me strength. At first I thought I was over reacting but I after talking to some others I am not the only one who feels that way. I just do my work and volunteer and come home. I am quite social so I have joined several clubs and I very active in my sorority on the alumane level. I am a little bumped out becuase since my car got broken into I cannot afford to go to my alma mater to see my friends and the chapter that I was born at my belived Lambda Eta. There is no chapter greater than my Lambda Eta. SO that saddens me a lot. I do not do much hanging with my coworkers. I do not like to mix personal and business together. I so not like people knowing everything about me. I feel like if you hang out with coworkers they will know who you date, or dated. Plus some of my coworkers are just tooooooo nosey and I dont like that. If I dont ask you pesonal questions please don't ask me. Not being rude, but I really feel that.So I steer clear of that. I know I am not staying here.
When my contract is up I am def. heading back to the east coast. At first I was thinking of going to a university up here, and my Exective Director wrote me a letter of recommedation along with my former boss, but after coming and expericing St.Louis,MO I am simply not in love with the city. I didnt even hit submit. I know I would get into the school but I am not feeling this city. The people are just too rude, and that includes the university. How are you rude and people are paying your salary. So why torture myself and stay here for another 2 years. I will pass on that. A lot of the VISTAs come here and stay, I am just not one of them. I am very thankful for the oppurtunity to be here, and I do no not regret my decision, I never want to wonder what if? The good news is I got into some colleges in VA and I deferred my decision to come there for one year. So I will be go back to school on the east coast in fall 2012 it has been stamped and approved.lol.
A city that I did fall in love with while here is St.Louis, Mo. 2 of my coworkers who I am really close with in the office and I can actually call friends, went to Chicago, and I absolutely loveeeeee CHI-TOWN... If the econmcy was better I would def. move there after I gradaute. But we will see, I mean I do graduate in 2014 who knows what the Lord will have in store with me.
Also I ahve found a church down here and I ahve been foing to Bible studying and I thinking about joining the choir with them as well. I told you guys that I have been a busy elephant! Thanks for reading, until next time.
