I Give it a Tenn

My seemingly continuous travels continue as I now find myself living in the American southeast.  I now reside in Eastern Tennessee, where everyone speaks as though Jeff Foxworthy taught English.  The amusing thing is that few people have commented on my accent.  One administrator was even surprised I said that I'd just moved out here from California.  'Well I guess you do sound different don't you!'  My social circle is currently limited since the only people I've met are in the graduate biology dept, and most of them already have their own social clique.  That in time too shall come about.  I've only been out here a week.
