Some found out facts about Knoxville:
1. I'm pretty sure that there is a high suicide rate amongst the fair critters of Knoxville. The other day I watched as a bunny crossed the road. As a car was about to drive in front of it, I thought it was safe (it would've gone in between the tires, under the car), it decided to jump up... getting smashed into the front of the car and dropping to the ground dead. A tragic ending to such a small animal, but honestly, it was a stupid move by the bunny. I did mutter against the killing car however, calling them bunny killers... but the bunny did make the jump. I find the birds drive awfully low to the ground right in front of the cars as well. It's not like the squirrel commercial where they just try to wreck the cars. My thoughts are that, like the bunny, they are trying to kill themselves. I think Knoxville veterinarians need to begin getting degrees in counseling as well so that the Knoxville animals may start getting hope in their animal world.
2. People in Knoxville don't like to follow the speed limit. Now I admit, I like to go over the speed limit, enough said. However, the common speed seems to be 30 mph here... like everywhere. Which to my eyes is quite ridiculous and slow. However, when there are cars behind me and I purposefully try to go 30mph, they are at the butt of my car and I can mentally feel their angry car eyes glaring at me.
3. Bursting brains of information. After about 3-4 hours of talking things over today with a couple of people, my brain feels overloaded. The meetings were extremely helpful and they gave us good goals to go towards for this week and the weeks to come... but my brain felt so empty as the information came! It reminded me of how limited I am. Please pray that God can still use me!
4. Thankfully, my two host brothers love to play basketball and are thoughtful enough to invite Emily and I to join them. Sometimes I am not sure if I'm getting better or worse as the games go on, but I enjoy every minute of it!
