Hey, hi there. Its been a while since I wrote here. It’s funny how every time I mean to start writing on a regular basis, I quickly fail miserably at it.

I have to say, California really isn’t all that bad. I mean, sure, traffic sucks a lot, and the roads are confusing as hell, but there are a lot of nice things. For starters, it doesn’t usually get to hot (with the exception of this week, sadly). It’s generally around 85 degrees during the day, and very little humidity. Compared to Michigan and its hot and humid summer (complete with random thunderstorms!), it rocks. There’s almost never a cloud in the sky, and I don’t think it has rained since I got out here (which was over a month ago!). I suppose that’s like a drought now that I think about it…

The weather does seem to be a bit odd at times, however. The mornings are much colder that the day, which I suppose is to be expected with little to no cloud cover. I probably wouldn’t mind so much if I wasn’t waking up at 6 AM fairly often to go running. There’s a lovely trail that is ridiculously close to our apartment that I’ve been running on. I hit water Tuesday when I ran, and I’m told that that is the tip of the bay. I thought that was pretty cool considering how rare it is to see large bodies of water out here (my perspective is, of course, skewed because I am from Michigan).

To sum it all up - it’s nice out here. I don’t mind it one bit.
