I've been in SF for just over a week. Things are flying by. I was able to find a place to live in Noe Valley and really like the area. It is definitely a yuppie, young family area. I've had to dodge quite a few double strollers as they are being pushed towards Whole Foods. (Pictures of my new place to come soon).
My roommate is an independent film producer currently working on a documentary for PBS. It is about women's contribution to the labor movement. A few days ago she got to hang out with the SF Fire Department to document female fire fighters. If anyone wants to come visit and needs a place to crash, let me know! Visitors are welcomed and encouraged. That means you, get down here. Virgin America and Alaska Air are cheap.
It's definitely a big adjustment down here. One of the hardest things is being away from all my friends. It hit me this past weekend when I had no one to go to brunch with! I was really craving something tasty from Portage Bay Cafe, but had to settle for coffee and a croissant by myself. Boo! And the weather? Seriously. I'm seeing all these Facebook posts from Seattle about the hot, hot, hot weather in the 90's while I am wearing socks to bed because it is so chilly. 64 and partly cloudy. Boo again.
I'll keep posting regularly as my studying allows. I'm making some french press in the kitchen while reading the case about a korean shop keeper killing a teen shoplifter. Ok, back to the books.
I fly VA to the Bay Area all the time. Great place to go to school and kick it with friends and fam. SF is def going to be chill because it's right next to the water.
ReplyDeleteLucky you. :)
I'm glad you got the blog up and running. Looking forward to more of your adventures!

Oh - I remember reading about that case once. Focused on racial tensions right? It was a younger black girl that had shoplifted an orange juice and she was shot?
ReplyDeleteWoah Eric - Law school in your future? Yes you're right on. It was believed to have contributed to racial tensions in the area that ultimately led to the LA riots. During the riots over 2,000 Korean owned businesses were burned down.
ReplyDeleteDear Kellen,
ReplyDeleteHi Future Best Friend. I definitely started my blog in grad school-- procrastination for the win. :)
You know, I am ALWAYS up for brunch. Jimmie taught me well. Let's hang out.

Hey, I think I mentioned this, but when we come down for Folsom weekend, I'm doing a cooking night with a bunch of my SF friends over at one of their places and you're absolutely invited. Many of them are quite friendly and known brunchers.
