3 things I learned about Arizona in San Francisco

1. Arizona has Agriculture

Who would have thought stuff (other than cactus) would grow in the desert? Turns out Arizona isn't all rock and sand... some parts even have forests. It has the perfect climate for growing cotton and citrus. I have a feeling this has a terrible impact on whatever river they are irrigating from.

2. Road Runners Exist

The Arizona gal couldn't believe our amazement at such an animal being real. What she failed to tell us is that they don't look like the cartoon. They are short fat birds that run across the road really fast. She says you barely ever find them as road kill. Also, contrary to belief... these birds do not go BEEP BEEP!

3. Scorpions are Everywhere

While Scorpions and Arizona go hand and hand in my mind, I didn't realize how invasive they were. Apparently Scorpions just LOVE making homes out of piles of clothes you left on the floor. I feel that I would have a big scorpion problem seeing as I leave clothes on the floor 90% of the time. I guess I would just have to get really good at shaking them out. Supposedly you can get more than one to hide out in there. And they're also pretty good about hiding out in your shoes so check those before putting them on too.

My Hat, It has 3 Corners

I was recently in need of a hat, but I didn't have one with me at college and didn't want to buy one. Therefore, I came up with THE GREAT NEWSPAPER HAT INITIATIVE and made one myself out of newspaper.
As Alyssa can attest, this made my side of the room look like a newspaper bomb had exploded. Overall it was WAY fun. Much more fun than doing homework too. Not only did I learn how to make the traditional 3 corner type, but several other less known types as well. So if you ever need a hat made out of newspapers, you know who to call! Because trust me, I'm a pro :P
