So I'm moving to San Francisco today.
It's bizarre and I don't really feel like it's happening. I was supposed to be driving up the 21st and moving in the 22nd but now I'm moving in the 21st with all the other transfer students. It caught me off guard that I would suddenly have one less day with my friends and Juan. He called his manager today and told him he wasn't coming to work so we spent all day emptying out my room and my car.
Before I left for Pittsburgh I wrote and recorded a song for him with the help of our friend Wade who works at a recording studio in West Hollywood. It's a really cute, simple, and funny song about how I'm moving away. Wade and I played it for him tonight and he seemed to really enjoy it.
Crazily enough, Wade Matt and Juan are driving up to San Francisco at this very moment. Wade found out last minute that their friend Thorin's band was playing a show in the bay tomorrow night. I was so ridiculously relieved to know that I would have an extra day or two with Juan and that he would leave knowing what my dorm looks like, who my roommate is, and where I'm going to be living for the next year. I feel like it will be easier for me if the last time I see him is when I'm already in my new home.
I still don't know what we're going to do when it comes to the "long-distance" thing. I guess we're just playing it by ear which is less stressful. I know that no matter what he will always be in my life and he will always pick up my phone calls and be my friend. It's comforting to a certain extent.
I'm almost done packing things up and I'm going to start the drive around noon.
Goodbye Los Angeles?
