Even though it's the same country, there's still a lot to get used to down here in Tennessee. The first thing that really struck my mother and I was the driving. Everyone drives within 3 mph of the speed limit for the most part. There's no tailgating or frustration at slow cars in front. Well there is still by me because you definitely can't get the Boston out of the girl. I was running late to work yesterday and I was stuck behind some slow cars and there was absolutely nothing I could do about it. It's just the way it is there. Makes me realize that I truly have to leave earlier than I want to just incase something like that happens again.
Also different in Tennessee is that you can smoke in locations that are 21+ such as a bar or a club. There is one bar in Amherst where they allow smoking and I am not sure how it is legal there but it was extremely smoky. It was not as bad here at the bar I was at, but it was still something to get used to unfortunately.
I have now been at my work for 2 days and both have been good so far. Tomorrow I will be spending Super Bowl Sunday at a co-workers house who invited everyone from work to come over. It will be good to see everyone from work in a more casual environment.
I'm waiting to post pictures of my new place until when my new couch comes in a week as that will really bring everything together. So far everything has been good though!
