I arrived at Orange County, California late yesterday night. I'll be here for around 4 months for my Internship. Am excited and scared at the same time... Its an awesome place, lovely weather-lotsa things to do...but I've gotten so used to my life in Richmond...My friends who have become more like family, their pranks and jokes ( of which I WAS ALWAYS THE VICTIM), the house (always loud and lively unlike this one), my school and the school atmosphere, my lil corner in the lab where nobody cared about what I was doing, my room with that huge johnny depp poster rite above the bed, Panda Veg food, the Indian cart lady and even my annoying neighbor...I'm gonna miss it all!
But at the same time, I'm hopeful that I'll have a nice time here in California- Orange county is such a pretty place- wide roads, beautiful palm trees, and a nice breeze greeted me when I landed. OC is supposedly one of the richest counties in the US and it shows...I've been here only for a day and I've already seen 3-4 limos and hummers on the road...Nobody even gives them a second look here. The houses are huge..not multi storey buildings that go straight up like in Richmond city but spread around a huge landscaped area. My apt is very pretty- Its a two storey building with stacatto walls traditionally found in these warmer coastal areas. There are two nice outdoor swimming pools, lawn areas, and a gym. Today we went shopping for groceries and I was very happy to find that there are several different stores nearby...Best thing is that we can bring the shopping cart from the store all the way home from where the cart is picked up later... Only I know what a blessing this is...after two years of 'backbreaking shopping', carrying those grocery bags home in bookbags, this is def something to cheer about. Another thing that made me very happy is the public library that is just 5 minutes away... Disney land is also nearby and the beach is also reachable by car. So, there's so much this city offers, so much to do and so many places to see... I cant wait to explore them all.
Only thing I hope for is to meet good people here...cuz thats def something I had around me at all times in Richmond.
