Well I have less than two days left in Alamosa before I leave it for the summer... Here are some things I have learned or experienced in the 4 months I have been here:
-When they call it the Dirty Mo' they literally mean dirty.... I have never lived in a more constant windy town, and since we are down here where Colorado looks more like New Mexico than your classic CO scenery its verrrrry sandy/dirty, its always dusty and dirty. LOTs of dirt+wind wind wind= The DIRTY Mo'.
-Inhalers are a blessing when you play on a lacrosse field that is at the highest.altitude.in America. Seriously guys... Its hard to breath and run lots up here.
-Alamosa is SMALL. Can't say that it is the smallest town I have ever lived in, but I definitely wasn't gonna go back to a town as small as Ephraim. Alamosa may be tiny but we at least have 4+ fast food options, a Chilli's, and tons of good options for Mexican food :)
-If you aren't the "partying" type... weekends can get quite boring so what becomes a necessity for living here? NETFLIX. Its a beautiful thing.
-Weed smells good but is NO good. Now understand I don't know this by personal experience. Lets make sure that is clear. I have never smoked weed. But I have seen its effects on people and I just don't approve of the stuff. At all.
-Alamosa tries to make it feel like home.... With its weather. Yesterday I was on the LAX field shooting around and tanning with Kelly. Today it was a blizzard as I was studying for Finals.
-If you are from Alamosa, you are probably related to EVERYONE ELSE in Alamosa. Seriously. Its freaky.
-If you plan to live in Alamosa for the rest of your life.. You better learn how to farm. People here are farmers. We're out here in the middle of nowhere
-When you are talking about Colorado Springs you don't refer to it as Colorado Springs. Its just The Springs.
-When you drive about 35 minutes towards "The Springs" and take left turn before leaving the valley, you hit a HUGE pile of sand. BIG big big pile.. They call it "The Great Sand Dunes". Just randomly out there.
I have probably learned lots more while living here but I can't think of any more. All-in-all I love this town. Its small. Its dirty. But I like it here. Enough to come back next semester :) (which is something I have not done at ANY school I have ever attended...)
I LOVE THIS. ALL OF IT. ESPECIALLY THE WEED ONE.... HAHA. And while I too love it here, I miss "The Springs"
