This last Friday I took a day back at home to see family. It was hectic, but rejuvenating. I realized just how good I had it in Redding. When I arrived Thursday night at my house, my first thought was, "Holy Cow! This is one of those rich-kid houses." That night, I felt like I was sinking into the mattress. Amazing. I didn't have to roll onto my arm just to avoid the pressure of the springs! It was also nice to have free parking and enjoy the slow pace of the town (even if I wasn't quite matching that pace).
So do I miss it? Im not sure. Life would definitely be more comfortable there... but I am enjoying life here. Specifically, I am enjoying feeling like I am in control of my life. I work a lot. I eat a lot of ramen. But I love cashing a check and knowing that I do my own grocery shopping and whatnot.
The great thing about my life, this fall I can go wherever I want. If I'm going to community college, I can go anywhere in California that has a Starbucks and a college. Pretty Cool.

Don't you love working for a corporation!? I'm so thankful that I get to transfer anywhere in the states (or Canada.)
I'm glad you got to experience home in a different light. I'll be in Oakland on Friday. See you then. Much love.
