It's raining here. Not an LA, November kind of sprinkle/hazy mist in the morning, but a torrential downpour reminiscent of the fall of 2005 in Berkeley when it rained for 70-odd days straight. For those of you who were there and lived with me in Clark Kerr, you remember the rain. It was a lot.
I don't mind the rain usually but today it makes me homesick. We're going on week 7 and I knew this point would come. It's about the same time that I got really homesick in Europe last summer. But then I got to go home whereas here, I'm barely at the halfway mark.
So I think I'll just go ahead and make the list of all the things that make me homesick and get it out of my system:
Sunday brunches with my family at the beach
Friday lunches with the bulldozing crew
Late night movies with my little brother
Shocktop/margaritas with Jessica and Megan
BTC with Jessie and crew
IM Softball (Go Gold!)
My tivo
Thanksgiving with my family- I don't have an oven in my apartment so Thanksgiving this year is probably going to be very disappointing
Cooking with my mama
My phone- to call all the people I love in Berkeley, San Fran, San Diego (now DC), and Santa Barbara
My Cal clothes/Cal football (Big Game is today....GO BEARS!)
The holidays are going to be especially rough without our friends and family. I've been avoiding most shopping centers because they make me kind of sad. But maybe I'll go get a Charlie Brown christmas tree, rent the original Home Alone movie, and curl up on the couch with my roommates.
Miss you all back home a lot. Send me e-mails, I'd love to hear what you've been up to. xo
