I can't believe it. I've only got a week left here in California. These past 7 months have been crazy, from adjusting to city life to discovering the wonderful California Burrito. I'd say I wish it never to end, but to be honest, I'm quite happy to leave.
Don't get me wrong, I've had an amazing time here. I've gotten more sun since January than I had the previous 10 years. I've met some great people and done some pretty cool things. But we've had a rocky relationship, San Diego, and I think it best we parted ways.
We're just too different. You like warm, sunny weather. I prefer the cool Autumn breeze and the crisp, fresh snows of the northeast. You enjoy the constancy of never-changing weather, while I prefer the varying sky of central NY. There's nothing wrong with either, just different strokes for different folks. While I didn't realize it when I first left home, I'm a Winter boy, through and through. And January in San Diego just isn't Winter, in my book.

That being said, the people I met here will be that which I will miss the most. Friends I've made at work, strangers I've chatted with at the beach, and the occasional polite homeless man asking for money. Alright, that last one I probably won't miss, but it was a memorable experience, nonetheless!
