Having lived in the country in the same old log cabin for the past ten years, it was pretty insane when I moved halfway across the country when I accepted a new job. It was much further down south in the city, so the wide open farmland I was used to was replaced with big cities and skyscrapers. When I moved into my new house it was a big surprise due to just how different it was than my little cabin in the woods. One of the strangest things was the air conditioning unit inside of the house. Having lived in an old farmhouse up in the north all my life, I never even saw an a/c unit, much less used one. All I had at my old place was a small fireplace and that was it. It took me weeks of trial and error to finally figure out all of the controls for this fancy unit, along with looking at some youtube videos online. It would have probably been more smooth to have just called the local HVAC unit to ask for some help figuring it out, but pride is an amazing thing. Now that it has been a little longer and I have gotten adjusted to this newer way of living, I am starting to miss my a/c unit less and less. Every once in a while there are nights when I am busy at work and would love to head back to my old farm and enjoy the silence, but then I snap back to reality when I remember just how fun and exciting the city life is!
