Spring is in the air today in beautiful Clinton ("Clinnon"), SC, and I am pondering the very real possibility of staying in this sleepy little town for a couple more years while I pursue my A.A.S. in Funeral Services. I have also been charged with the task of showing prospective psychology professors around the PC campus over the past few weeks and it has gotten my wheels turning on what this place means to me. Their burning questions are along the lines of "Where
is the nearest Target?" and "How far is Greenville, again?" I gently tell them there is a Walmart not so far away and that we students think of a trip there not as "an errand" but as "an outing." It's really "an event" in some cases. They chuckle, but I speak the truth.
So, you ask, what
do I do between schoolwork and working at the funeral home?
Well, first, there's cooking. I like to cook a lot. Well, I like to eat in general, but I am learning to love to cook. And the great thing about cooking is that you can do it anywhere and feel instantly at home. The Ingles here has become my best friend.
Keeping with the food theme, a Zaxby's has opened up down the road with a fancy
new drink machine to boot! There's also a new donut shop in town. Donut's & More has some tasty treats. (Note: this branch has closed since this post was published... but I can still go to the store in Greenwood!)

One of my favorite spots is the little movie theater in downtown Laurens, The
Capitol Theater and Cafe. They have gone in and out of business, but when they have a good movie showing, I'm likely to be there.
Last but not least, I am always up for a stroll around the little neighborhoods near PC. I think I'll make a few rounds right now. Catch ya later, blog people.
