The People

  

After examining the people here in Portland Maine, I realized how ignorant they could be. They are very standoffish. Robert was out for his appointment last winter and he got off the bus about a mile away, which means he got off earlier than he suppose to. He was walking and slipped on some ice on the floor and not one person would help him up from the floor. He kept slipping so he had to wait for a 5 minutes until someone actually saw him from the store. She rushed outside and helped him up.

From what I experienced within the year we have been here is that they are nice people, however, they are hard to get to know. They are very standoffish. I guess that's why we don't have any friends here yet.

There are people above us: a mother and daughter. We bumped into the mother in the laundry and we started talking and the mother asked us if we hear anything and I had to let her know that yes we do hear everything up there including here daughter playing the guitar at 2am in the morning. It took me a couple of times to complain not to play the guitar in the middle of the night. During the day she could play as loud as she wants but after 11pm its actually disturbing the peace. I gotten yelled at from Robert that I was being rude banging the stick to the ceiling. I was pissed off. I’m being rude at 2am? What about her upstairs who plays the guitar.

I was so looking forward to living the town but we can't do anything now because of the shitty school that I am attending asking for that money back. So we continue staying here and listen to the bullshit.

I also noticed that the people here are very laid back and do things very slow. My application for DHSS is still pending for benefits since January.
