Not just a town in Oklahoma

I am in Norman for a couple of days, visiting and meeting all the Normanians surrounding RUF. I got into town around 6:30 today and got a little lost, finally making it to the place I was meeting Della soon after. We went for dinner and drinks at a place called The Library with a nice patio area near campus. After a change of clothes, we met some other people at Doug Serven's house. Most of them are graduates or soon-to-be graduates, which was fun becasue they will be my friend group when I move here in the fall. I also got to meet one of my roomates, Annie. By far one of my best faux paus yet happened midway through the evening. Now, awhile back this guy named Norman Maynard facebook friended me. I saw he was from OU so I accepted and wondered what his real name was. I assumed his real name wasn't Norman - he was probably just using the fake name of the guy who founded his college town or something. So tonight, this guy shows up and introduces himself as Norman Maynard. My response: "Oh! That's your real name?" Everyone cracks up, as there is obviously no context. I sort of explained, but it was funny enough and I think it was too honest to be sarcastic. So I just chalked it up to the wine.

Tomorrow is more Norman fun. Yay for new beginnings! What Spanish final on Friday? Pshhh.



I have to add my mother's quote of the day as we were driving through Hyde Park on Saturday.

Mom: I don't know if I could ever live in hippie town. I'm too prejudiced.
Brittany: Prejudiced against what?
Mom: Hippies.
