down home girl



Our building, 9H. My room takes up the last three windows on the second floor to the left.



I’ve finally uploaded a few pictures I’ve taken in the past two weeks!  More to come,
 of course.
A little more about my new “home”… The Atlantic Region campus is located at the VA Center in Perryville, Maryland. This means that we share space with veterans who are in need of some sort of assistance whether that be housing, physical and mental rehabilitation, recovering from addictions etc. There about 400 acres of land dedicated to the campus. Our dorm is right by the water, which makes for some pretty incredible sunsets.  The actual town of Perryville is about as exciting as watching dust collect on the floor. There is an ice cream store, a pizza shop, the post office and that is about it folks. So during weekends people tend to travel to the next closest town Havre de Grace. Last Sunday night, the 21+ crowd literally took over a small little bar in Havre de Grace. Apparently everyone needed to blow off some steam because we overwhelmed the ONE bartender when we showed up with almost 40 people. Whoops.
It’s crazy to think that I’ve only been here for 15 days! A little over two weeks…nuts! Everyone in my group already seems to be so comfortable around one another, including myself. I realized this yesterday when I started doing an Irish-jig in front of my team for one reason or another.
Dinner is almost ready. I could seriously eat a horse but I’ll settle for vegetable stir fry.

Having fun playing with my new lens, thanks mom and dad!
