walk the line

West Virginia county has been rated one of the worst places in the USA, small town mentalities and such, and a lot of people don't even know the county exists. What Fahad was talking about once, that when his friends found out he is coming to study in WVU, they tried to convince him out of it and scare him with the stories. What I found from one interview once: "What other people call weaknesses, I see as strengths. Are we poor? Or do we value other things besides the accumulation of stuff? Are we “clannish”? Or do we care about our families more? Are we obese? Or do we just love home cookin’?" A lot of what people talk may be true, but first of all, at least Morgantown is a small town that has strong spirit, people are friendly and positive and keep together. The administration and the systems do not indeed often work, but when willing to fight for your rights and be persistent, you'll manage. It is not my place of choice to raise a family, but for stude

Whoever hasn't understood yet, Morgantown's weather is very much bipolar. In less than a week we go from a snowstorm to +22 degrees celsius and bright warm sunshine.

Luckily we had to leave early, to meet the others in Bent Willey's, as it was cold (yes october started and the weather is free-zing, ab 6 degrees, windy, raining, no wonder we're one after another getting sick). Because of the cold, the balcony was closed, which usually creates the awesome atmosphere in Bent, but they had some competitions, Hugo (France) scored at beanbag throwing so the whole bar got free shots, I was competing in hula hoop twirling, another great thursday evening out. Kane brought his guitar to the house, the guys were playing and we were all singing, I have missed music like this! I was teaching Emnet curbing and other vocal techniques, it's awesome to practice myself. Had a freaky experience, when out of random woke up at 5am, shaking, I am pretty sur
