San Diego
The first of these following anecdotes is sad, and the second one is not sad. Choose the your order of reading depending on whether you prefer ending on sad-ish or funny-ish notes.
------------
Recently, I paid my temporarily-hospitalized grandmother a visit. With some difficulty due to her impaired hearing ability, I managed to communicate to her that I would soon be going to college in San Diego. Upon hearing that city name she suddenly seemed to be mentally transported to another era. She went on to repeatedly ask me if, in San Diego, I liked to watch the boats come in. At first I tried to explain that I'd never done that so I wouldn't know but eventually I gave up and simply nodded my head. She was completely discombobulated and looked so frail and miserable. I guess life is like watching boats come in, until one day it's your boat that's coming in.

My old friend Martin recently left to attend the University of San Diego. I will very soon be reunited with him when I leave to attend the University of California, San Diego. In the meantime I've been e-communicating with him. He tells me that there are attractive females abound at his school, which is good because the internet tells me that there are not so many attractive females at my school. We agreed to serve as wing men for each other. However, if his rather narcissistic new facebook profile picture is any indication of his idea of seduction then we may just run into some turbulence.
