1. Mountain Time. I have an extra hour, people from Colorado don't. I don't plan on changing my watch or laptop time, this way I will feel like it's later and I will get things done quicker. It feels good always seeing the time and realizing I have more. I'm selfish about it.
2. Dryness. I'm drinking a lot more water in this higher elevation. During breakfast I drank a chai tea, then downed eight ounces of orange water (it doesn't qualify as juice) in one drink. Supposedly, I'll adjust and begin drinking a normal amount, but I see many students carrying water bottles everywhere.
3. Clouds. Speaking of elevation, the clouds are much closer and much more detailed than in Texas. I'm still amazed and point them out and the people around me don't see anything different about them. They are taken for granted.
4. Slang. I'm not used to the hipster slang used by many of the students here. In St. Louis everyone just spoke the generic understandable English. Here, I feel like I have to ask what people are exactly saying. I guess I'm just literal about these things.
5. I think I might apply for the Dining Services Advisory Council so I can influence the direction of the cafeterias.
