Oh a Tuesday has never been so, comforting and excellent. I woke up this morning, and it was already 60ish degrees. I headed out with my good friend Leah to a coffee shop on Judah called Trouble Coffee Co. This place is no bigger than the size of my side of the room I'm living in now, with a full espresso bar, no menu, and wooded countertops above comfy stools. This place breathes earth and modern vibes, I just loved it. I ordered the famed soy latte (famed according to yelp! that is) and tossed some cinnamon sugar on top. It was heavenly, to say the least. I have had many a soy latte in my life and have never had one as great as this one. It was the perfect atmosphere for good conversation.
The year is winding down, and it's hitting me harder than ever right now. I actually haven't even been in San Francisco for a year, and that may be why I feel the least ready to go back to Santa Barbara. I feel as though I just got here, and there are still so many sights and sounds, and tastes (oh the tastes!) to experience in this city. I am already missing the people I hang out with from Campus Crusade, the church I go to on Market Street, the MUNI, the clouds, the cool winds, and all the coffee... I will miss being a stranger, a new face without a past in this sea of hopes and passions and dreams and aspirations called San Francisco. I will miss being myself. Now, as I think through this, I have no doubt I will come to the realization that I am still myself no matter where I am. I'll just have to think through some things to believe that. It will take time. It will take time indeed.
Tonight was the last Bible Study meeting of the year, we all met at this cozy house out by a green hill, and had the best enchiladas ever. They literally reminded me of home! I have to give credit where credit is due and say that I brought dessert and made this: you eat it with your fingers.
It was rather delicious. Tonight was just fantastic, from the food to the encouraging conversations, in the background of my mind there was this looming sense that I will not see these people for a very long time. Well, only three months. I know I'm going to miss everyone quite dearly. I've been so impacted by the lives of the people around me, and encouraged, and if anything, they have shown me through their lifestyles that God is real, and God is good.

I like "eat with your finger" food.
