The Golden State

I'm done with finals and heading home to the Golden State! Whoot! California here I come!

I'm currently waiting in SeaTac's B11 Gate area - I'm here so early, there's a flight leaving my gate before mine. Haha. They're all going to LA. Pfft. Bay Area ftw. Had no trouble at security and now just have to wait.

In the three months I've been living in Seattle, I've completely fallen in love with the city. I love the green foliage, the rain and frost, the beautiful sunrises and sunsets. I love Seattle Pacific University and all the friends I've made. I loved my Jane Austen class and will miss it and the professor dearly. I love going to sleep bunked with my roomie Elayna, and waking up at 8 every morning. I even love the airport - SeaTac.

There's only one thing I love more: Mountain View, California!!! :D I'm so psyched to be coming home and getting to sleep in my bed for three weeks. I'm psyched to see my friends and stay out late doing crazy stuff until our stomaches hurt too much from laughing. I'm psyched to swing dance with my friends. I can't wait for Christmas with my grandma and brother and then New Year's Eve. I'm excited to hug my mom when she picks me up from SFO and to chat with my dad about what's going on at Google. So much excitement here!!

Recently I was with somebody (cough Tory cough) who told me I may be the only person she knows who would compliment a stranger out of the blue. I thought this was a strange observation because it seems so natural to me - and to the lovely girl at SeaTac who told me she liked my owl socks while I waited in line for security. Being nice to others is sorta self-serving because it makes me feel good, while making other feel good, so why pass up the chance to say something nice to stranger? Worst that can happen is they brush you off or give you a weird look. But it's worth it just to know you may make someone's day.
