I realised I wasn't in the midwest when going down I-5 I saw graffiti that said '9/11 a hoax?'.  I love this place. So many trees and the water is blue. omg, omg, blue water!

Oh yes I'm having a great time. Got to see Tacoma boo UPS boo. Biggest hills I've ever seen in my life. I like it here. I was a little underdressed this morning but other than that this place is somewhat sureal.  Finally got to see Mt. Rainer today, wow.  Love the weather. (Its just like florida when it rains so I don't get this it rains all day crap, imo. Rains for a couple mins then stops exactly like florida.)

I like the school and people. Still cannot get over the trees. So many trees. Gosh, and I'm a pretty cultured person seen everything east, seen differnt cultures but this area is just, how can I put this, differnt then anything I've seen.  And on the plus side I have the same views as a lot of people and I thought I was pretty liberal Evergreen University in Olympia from what I've heard is hippie u.s.a where smoking pot is required to get in.

I've only been here for 2 days and I already love the place.

I'm so glad to see you are enjoying your visit to the west coast.  It is always an adventure to go someplace new.  Hope you can get into a college you like.  Best of luck to you.  By the way, it actually does rain a fair amount at this time of year.  That's why we have all the greenery instead of snow.

Its not as bad as you make it out to be though. I equate the weather to florida, where it rains everyday there but only in little phases. Yes it rains everyday but its not raining in buckets with thunder and hail and tornadoes like the midwest. I looking outside and its not sunny, true but its very bright outside.

Big question.  What are you doing on the 'Net when you could be out exploring?  You don't have much time there, so take in all you can.  I'm sure you will get along well with the laid-back people in Seattle.  Why not hit a coffee shop and start chatting with people?  You could meet a lot of new friends.
