October in Alabama

The funny things about Alabama:

-Yesterday I was sloshing through the rain in flip-flops, jeans, and a short-sleeve T-shirt and it was perfectly fine in temperature. Today it is 47 degrees Fahrenheit, right now, at 10 am.

-I am the only female my male co-workers consistently speak to in an extended fashion right now, because I am the only female at work keeping track of NCAA football beyond the AU/UA rivalists.

-My mother is losing her mind because my brother is never home, and the short times he is home when she tries to talk to him, Dad cuts in to talk about ..... football.

(I am convinced there is literally no other place on earth so obsessed with American football as the state of Alabama.)

-It's only October, the semester does not end until December, yet my Foundations in Nursing Course has already had its last class and last lab. And yet, we still have 3 more tests to take at various intervals continuing throughout the semester. To be fair, we do still have clinicals most weeks. But all the test information has already been covered. I guess they're testing long-term recall.

I guess that's all my observations for now.
