Moving West

With this blog I will be detailing my move west. I just moved here on the 18th of August and will be attending Maryville University.

Well I suppose I should start this off by saying that I have lived almost all of my life on the East Coast. I've lived in Maryland for most of my life, but had stints in North Carolina and Florida. I just moved here last Thursday for school and am excited to be living in the greater St. Louis area. I'm amazed at just how nice everyone is here. It seems like everywhere I go people are just generally a lot nicer here than the Eastern Seaboard. For example I walked into Sears to buy a household appliance, the very nice lady at the check out counter asked me where I was from and was generally interested in my story. Back east the people may ask how you are, but they wont take the time to listen to your story or actually take interest in it. So far my impression of the Mid West has been a good one. I went yesterday on the Anheuser-Busch tour and had a blast. The free samples at the end were a good cap to the tour. As I'm here I will be blogging all about my adventures around the St. Louis area and hopefully will keep you entertained.
