I may still be on EST, but to me, the Bay is already home
I have been having the best week!!! So far, I’ve had
It is day 3 of my Adventures in California, and what an adventure it has been! I’ve have 2 interview already and I have 4 set up for the next 2 days. I’ve also walked around the city, had a tour of Oakland and Berkeley, and today I had a tour of several awesome neighborhoods, visited Fisherman’s Wharf, the Golden Gate Bridge, Sausalito, and a bunch of other stuff. (my brain is SOOOO full).
I haven’t really processed everything that has happened. I just know it’s been awesome and I’ve loved every second.
Lots of people have asked me, Why San Francisco? Why California? And honestly, I don’t have a great answer.
I’ve always wanted to live in California — in a REAL city. Through my research at school, I’ve come to really appreciate the politics, diversity, and progressiveness of the Bay area. And frankly, when I daydream about my life, San Francisco makes a great backdrop.
Furthermore, when I think about how I felt about Atlanta and I compare it with how I feel about San Francisco, I’m so glad that the GF and I decided to make this city our new home. The city (and this state) is not without its problems, and yet, I feel that this area is full of possibilities. And I know deep in my heart that this is where I’m supposed to be.
I’ve taken over 600 pictures, and hopefully by the weekend I’ll have them up on Flickr.
I just wanted to give a quick update!
I’m going to bed. The clock says 9pm but my body thinks it is midnight.
