No problem. I can probably guess who wrote that but I am enjoying my experience. Besides, if you don't enjoy learning about PT, should you really be a PT? The topics should be exciting and interesting, regardless of who is teaching them. Just food for thought...
Not sure which direction of 14 hours you are coming from but it wasn't too hard for me at least. I grew up in the upper mid-west and have lived here all my life. Given you I'm not from ND but I have experienced winter before. If you haven't seen snow for 3 months out of the year, it might be a little different the first winter but everyone I have met in town is really nice and helpful.
What, specifically, are you hesitant about? Maybe I can be of more help.
