Oklahoma, where the wind come sweeping down the plains...and something about the waving wheat blows soft and sweet.
Unfortunately, it is December and most places in all their glory must be seen during the spring or summer. Being that everything is dead the landscape is not only flat but entirely too brown, reddish brown [from all the clay in the soil]. I have noticed however than unlike many places, NYC or Chicago, the Oklahoma City metropolitan area has no reason not to spread out; there is plenty of land to be plotted and little need for skyscrapers. Instead the sky looks wide because not a thing blocks the view. Also, the above song is unfortunately just as true now as it was back in the 50's when the musical came out. The wind comes sweeping, or whipping [however you'd like to put it]. Nothing to stand in the way, no hills to slow it and no trees to break it, alright, so a few.
So everything is in order [not without a few bumps along the way of course], my classes are scheduled, my UCO ID made, my apartment has been signed for, and my banking account has been opened. I even found a good church to attend while I am here. All that is left is to get a few other details in order and wait until orientation day to begin this busy journey in the year 2010.
Until then, logistics are taken care of and again it is just a waiting game. Unfortunately for this post I took no pictures. As I have not seen anything remarkably beautiful yet [thanks to the hand of death from the winter months] I will put up pictures when there is something nice to be looked at, like green grass or blue skies.
And for my beloved family and close friends reading this: SYLYB
