Americans - stereotyping

Being in America is a somewhat knew culture, the food they like to devour is large quantities of fat and sugar, the way that often everything sounds highly dramatic due to their accents even when it's not, the way they drive (it's crazy), and the way that bigger really is better; for everything including their cars and houses. For American people the importance of employment and money is high, like everyone else in the world I guess. But to Americans they, from my stand point, live to work, where as Australians work to live. Americans are hard workers if they are in a position of a higher level of employment, if not don't expect so much as a smile let alone good customer service. Americans defiantly think for the individual and live for themselves, they have big dreams and get on that mind set that they really are the only girl in the world. I am very much stereotyping here, but they are also just observations that I've been making from my short amount of time here, and i'm not saying that this is what every single person is like here. I've had to learn that Americans aren't shy to say what they are thinking and that I can't be either! Otherwise I have no hope of ever being heard. They don't understand my Aussie sarcasm very well and I'm like the most sarcastic person I know. But all that being said it's exciting adjusting to a new "culture", a new way to look at life. In the one month I've been here, I have become more care free as a person, I'm not so highly strung, I'm learning to relax and take these new experiences in my stride, I'm learning to make decision better rather than bring so flipping indecisive, and I'm learning to really embrace the new culture and understand the differences, but to not pass judgement. I believe I'm really going to enjoy my time here, I just want to have fun and explore new possibilities. 

Something i'm really looking forward to this weekend is going to NEW YORK!! 
I can't wait!
