The indification begins

By Trey Sullivan
So, I have arrived. Well, like five days ago. It took a bit over six hours, but I drove all the way from Beaver Falls to Noblesville. I'm a bit self-impressed. But, I must thank Coldplay, mewithoutYou, Death Cab for Cutie, and Muse for getting me safely across Ohio and mid-Indiana.

Once I arrived on Monday, I settled in with my host family (The McDaniels) and got to know them. They're great talkers, and incredibly easy to converse with and get to know. They're also really welcoming and easygoing, which makes my transition so much easier. Their son, Sean, is also a musician.

Noblesville is rich. It's really rich. While the average income in Indiana is $47,000 or so per year, the average income in Noblesville is nearly $71,000. You see, when I came to Huntington, I felt.... perhaps a bit proudly.... like I was a high-class citizen. I arrive in Noblesville to find that there is a social gap between my glorious '90 Accord and the neighbor's Lamborghini. I'm exaddurating a bit, but nonetheless, I have come to feel a sense of prestige in being the "common man." My flannel is worn with dignity.

Love
Trey
