So I've been away from home for only five months but so many things have popped up out of no way in the meantime. El Paso is divided into about four different sections; downtown, East, Northeast, and West. I live on the Westside closer to this little community known as Canutillo, but that's beside the point. The point is that this part of town has been POPPING. They built not only a Chikfila across the freeway BUT a movie theater right by it. All they need to include now is a SuperTarget and my life back home will be complete. I didn't know that things could be built this fast, I mean college station has had construction 4ever and it's still not done. We also just got a skydiving place too? Like why do they create all of these new places while I'm already gone? I also went out with my Internship director, to PeiWei may I add, I didn't even know El Paso had a Pei Wei. Apparently, there's a Salata here too? I really never went out of high school.

Lots of employers and professor I talk to tell me that El Paso is the new up and coming city. And I can definitely see what they mean by that. The only downside to living in El Paso is the fact that it's so far from other places. Just to get to San Antonio it's seven hours. That's way too far for me. I would rather be living somewhere that's rather big and is at least in 5 hours distance from other big cities.

Being home is kind of odd because I don't necessarily have lots of friends back home. But at least I get to spend time with family which is nice. The people I do end up hanging out with I'm sure will be in my life for some time now.
