Catching Up

Well, it's been almost 2 weeks since I have been here and the craziness has continued. It's amazing, confusing, interesting, and complicated living with 59 other people. especially 59 other young adults who are experiencing a major life change in regards to this particular job as well as other internal identity issues going on. I've enjoyed it thus far, but it has had it's challenges.

Let's talk about the landscape and culture of California. It's beautiful out here, but very different from the east coast. As I flew in I immediately noticed the brown, stubbly hills which surround San Diego. The palm trees dot the horizon and the beach is beautiful. The weather is phenomenal with breezes floating in and out of the house - we don't have air conditioning, so it feels wonderful. I miss the lush green and wildflower bordered highways that I envision when I think of North Carolina. I miss the down home culture of North Carolina - girls wearing minimal make up and dirty clothes, guys rolling out of bed and going to a coffee shop. The differences are thick, but it may not be such a bad thing.

This is our house!

This is a van that we might be driving. What uuup.
