A place to hang my hat...and live too.
Well, the next step down the SLO road has been taken.
I officially have a place to live in San Luis come September. Less than one block from campus, I'll be in the Foothill Hacienda Apartments, in unit #106. I'll have my own room, with room for my big bed (woot! no down-grading to twin!) and all my stuff. The apartment is 900 sq.ft., my room about 180-200 of that. The location is great and the neighborhood full of fellow students, yet still quiet and clean. I love SLO!
I went up there on Friday, driving my Golf and enjoying the scenic drive on Hwy 101. After checking out the apartment, currently occupied by my future roomates Matt and Miguel, Matt and I shot some stick at the UU, where we bumped into Alex and Greg, who were my roommates before I left Cal Poly in December 2005. Then we headed downtown and got our BBQ fix at Firestone Grill. Oh yeah.
On Saturday, we hit up Louisa's Place for breakfast: great eggs, corned beef and biscuits with gravy. Homestyle diner cooking cant be beat. We caught the early showing of Pirates of the Caribbean 3, which turned out to be a fantastic finale to the trilogy.
With not much else to do, and with all the paperwork for the apartment squared away, i decided to begin the long drive home. I made it home before dark. But by the time i had unpacked I was already missing my second home town. I can't wait to move back there in September and return to the SLO life.
But with final exams just a week away, I'll first have to figure out what I'm gonna do with myself for the summer. We'll see what happens.
Until we meet again.
Jim
