I am in love with the Bay Area...
Last weekend was the most amazing weekend of 2007. I loved being up north, away from everything that has ever burdened me or has brought me down. Even though it wasn't a permanent or temporary move, and was merely a vacation, I felt free. Northern California is much more laid back than southern califonia. San Francisco is a great city with great people.. Sonoma is most likely going to be my future home and nothing could get better than that.
Sonoma is a relatively small college. Where you can walk around and know someone or at least recognize someone. There, you're an actual person. Not just a number like at larger universities. And that's what I want. You can party as hard as you want to when you're up there, or you can just roam around in peace with nothing to bother you besides the "sonoma aroma". And even though there is only a 1% asian population, I would fit right in because god knows, I am as white-washed as they could get.
And Sonoma being just 50 miles north of San Francisco and 40 miles inland from the sea.. It has a perfect balance. I would be set with friends.. Although most of them would be frat boys or those of homosexuality.. And I could already tell that it'd be the best time of my life.
It's what a need. A change. A balance.
And although I'm going to miss so many aspects of Santa Clarita, I'll always be back for visits and I know in my heart that this is what I need. I need to get away and start a new life.
My past still haunts me here. I know nothing like that could ever harm me up north.
College is probably the hardest decision a kid has to make.
(I'll have pictures up from my weekend later)
