First, I absolutely disliked (I want to use the word "hate", but I will be classy) being in Little Rock for the first few days being here. I was away from my OH! comfortable Abilene and it was really hard to move away from that little place.
Anyways, being in Little Rock and experiencing culture shock sucks. I did not know anyone and I had MAJOR problems with my admission at the university.
Things I have learned/noticed about this city:
1- The Walmart by ACU is NOT representative of all the other Walmart around the U.S. Don't ever go to a Walmart around 9pm.
2- Arkansans think they are the only Americans who say "YALL"... I have a video to prove it.
3- There is an overwhelming amount of trees in the city... which is cool in a certain way.
4- I have a multicultural house. One of my roommates is from California and is half-French! He fluently speaks French. He is also in an acapella group and loves drawing.
My other roommate is a Danish South-Korean, which is pretty cool. I get to listen to awesome Danish music. A LOT. They play musical instruments as well (respectively the piano and the guitar)
5- I hung out with Spencer's cousin, JD, and got to know his friends. They are pretty AWESOME.
6- I met a Latvian guy and 5 French people. Needless to say that we are all already facebook friends and we will go on road trips all over Arkansas to experience The Natural State!
7- I started attending Pleasant Valley Church or Christ and I really enjoy attending there.
8- OH and last but not the least, I went out to have dinner with JD and his friends at this place called, "The Pantry"... It's DA BOMB! The owner is from the Czech Republic and the food is just delicious. I tasted almost everyone's plate and everything was awesome... If you come to visit, WE WILL GO THERE!
Anyways, I cannot wait to write more about my (mis)adventures in Little Rock!
