So I've been up at school here at Humboldt State University for two and a half years. You'd think I'd be accustomed to it and all of the quirks that just aren't like any other place (except maybe for Santa Cruz). But you know how there are some things you just can't get used to. I guess Arcata just isn't a place I can call my home away from home. The area is nice though. Everything's scenic and green. There are big ol' redwoods everywhere and from the top of the hill on campus, there's a great view of Arcata Bay and the Pacific.
Of course, it's hardly a competition between this place and my first college town. I guess it's hard to improve upon a good thing and I'm very biased to the only place I called my home away from home. I don't think you can get much better than San Luis Obispo. I loved everything about it, except for the science program at their school. So I sucked it up and moved away and haven't been able to get attached to this little town I'm living in now. In fact, the above picture is from one of my recent trips down to San Luis. I'm sitting atop Bishop's Peak, elevation ~1400 feet.
I guess since I call this page "A Little Something..." I should say something about myself. I don't really know who reads this page, but I have to keep up my continuity. I was born and raised in Salinas, the "salad bowl of the world." Home of John Steinbeck and the California Rodeo (and that's pronounced like in Spanish -- roh-day-yoh). I went to school with a lot of people all the way from Kindergarten at Mission Park through graduation from (Portable) Salinas High in 1999.
