Ignore the pile of laundry behind him.

San Antonio is awesome, ya’ll. And it ain’t that far from Austin, which is extra awesome. The slight problem is that both of these towns are in Texas, which is the opposite of awesome (to me – back away, Texans, and put down those tomatoes.) Oases in a sea of I’m-not-comfortable-here, but pretty large oases, and pretty cool ones. I don’t like that San Antonio is a two day drive from our families, because I know that it is close enough that we will still visit our families often, but not far away enough to fly, and I just don’t fancy spending half my life in the car in order to go spend time with Nana, you know what I’m sayin’? If I could shift the place East just a few degrees, it would make it better, but it is still one of our better options.
The campus is ok – nothing inspiring, though I guess I was spoiled by my extremely attractive little alma mater, and the lovely college Patrick currently attends is completely beautiful, so maybe my standards are too high. In any case, it looks like a cool if not aesthetically awe inspiring place to study. It has a fairly liberal attitude, which I like – I don’t like a Big Brother kind of school administration. San Antonio is a pretty rockin’ city – I just performed a quick search on the visit san antonio website for events, and found over 100 in October alone. Petting zoos, Improv nights, Rodeos, a Mexican art exchange, even a Terrific Treehouses exhibition! This place is original and diverse and cool and beautiful, and I would love to live there.
Up next? Lewiston, ME.
