One Year

Hard to believe but I have been in Idaho for one year. How time does fly. I can't believe that a year ago I was driving down here with my brothers and Charlie. The ironic thing is that around the same time this year I was driving back from California after spending 2 weeks of my vacation there. Let me tell you I was glad to be back. I enjoy the tranquility of this city.

I do miss everything that Los Angeles has to offer but I do not miss the traffic and humidity. When I went out I tried to go during the time that there was no traffic and it was not as hot. It does get hot here but not as hot as it was over here. It was hot all the time. Here it is cool in the mornings and at night but not over there. The temperature even reached to the 100s. I was still there last year at that time and it was not that hot. After spending time in South Gate I realized how many more things were accessible in Garden Grove and Santa Ana. I did have to drive there but there were more attractions there.

Even through all this I really enjoyed seeing my friends again. I even got to see a friend I had not seen since I was in college. I also got to see people I did not think I would get to see again. There were still some friends I would have liked to see but didn't because of the heat and expensive gas. I still enjoyed my vacation. Unfortunately this also signals the beginning of the school year. I know just about everyone works all year round and I should not be whining but it is still sad to go back to work.

So I already had my round of meetings this week with the math department. We will start meeting as a school in two weeks and classes will begin in three weeks. Two of my brothers will also be leaving to college in about two weeks. The other one doesn't leave till the end of September.

It is sad how many things change. There are many good and bad things but that is life.
