I finally put my finger on another thing that's been really throwing me for the last week or two. I was really disconcerted or even a bit miffed about the fact that it's getting dark now around 7pm (when I arrived in late July, I could sit and read on my front porch without a light until after 8:30). Well, it's mid-October, why should I be thrown by it getting dark at 7pm? It's the fact that it's getting dark and it's a lovely, clear "summer" evening at 80ºF. It feels like a comfortable July evening to my Midwestern self, and so I unconsciously expect it to stay light until around 830 or 9pm. Another way in which the plus side of the South is just simply confusing to me at this point. But I'm happy to have to engage in the struggle. :-)
Personal: Midterms; Nimoloth; Where Am I?
