being in motion again
Sep. 18th, 2009 01:38 amI'm getting kind of restless, starting to think more and more about what I'll do after I'm done here, next year. Not in any kind of concrete sense, but in the restless sort of daydreaming way. Next year, next year. I'm not actually any closer to graduation in any real sense, mind you, but I feel the gears in my mind turning, setting up for departure.
Ryan's talking about Oakland. When I first heard this, I thought I was over the bay area. But the more it rests in my mind, the more perfect it seems. The more the East Bay sounds like home. The cool weather, wearing hoodies, drinking good coffee, the bad smelling bart trains, all the good food, the spectacular view of the bay, being near UC Berkeley and being connected again to the real world.
San Diego also sounds appealing. Not the horrible sprawling North County, but the bikeable, diverse, funny old neighborhoods around North Park, Hillcrest, Normal Heights. The ocean and UCSD.
