| As some of you may or may not know, I moved to Bowling Green, Iowa, to
go to graduate school. When I went for a visit a year and a half ago,
they painted me this nice, shiny picture of the town and school. They
made it seem like caviar dreams and champaign wishes. Well, I'm here to
expose the real truth about Bowling Green.
For starters, it's windy. Chicago ain't got nothin' on this town. Seriously, birds fly sideways because of the wind. I guess you can say this town "blows." (Insert laugh here). Then there's the snow. This town gets 2 feet in one minute, and then it'll melt, freeze over, then snow again. It's a vicious circle. Forget about walking on the sidewalks if you need to get anywhere. The snow plows seem to think that it's a good idea to dump the snow on the sidewalks since we obviously all have snow dogs. (Who doesn't, right?) Next on our little hit parade is the people. The undergraduates who go to my school are dumb. "What do you mean I have to read/go to class?!" and "I really need to puke" are common phrases you'll hear from undergraduate students. The graduate students are no better. Instead of "What do you mean I have to read?" You hear, "My topic is so much better than yours because..." or "I may act like I'm 12, but I'm really 22, so you should do what I want you to do or I'll throw a temper tantrum." Then there are those who have no sense of humor. "A cat writes the news? Impossible!" or "He spelled news wrong." *Sigh* Well, these are some of the hard truths about my quaint little farming town. Tune in next week as I get ready to leave for Washington DC, Iowa for the annual Spring Break Report! -Kelly :) |
