How to spend your last few days in California? With no regrets. But I have no professional training!

ADDED when I finally get home:

I am leaving tomorrow morning at 8:10 am. And I think it\’s a good thing that I delayed my flight for about 3 days, because I wouldn\’t have gotten the closure that I wanted. I am not sure where all my non-rescomp friends went or whether I have been resCULTed, but suddenly yesterday during the all rescomp training, I felt this lump in my throat. The manager was talking about upcoming events, all the incoming freshmen for move-in day, how the RCCs would be working like mad to get everyone connected, and the incomplete computing center servers. But I wouldn\’t be part of it at all…

In the past 4 years, I have done so many goodbyes. I take my friends to the airport, sometimes unsure whether I\’ll ever see him or her again. Mostly because the friendship changes so much by the time either of us has a chance to fly out. I remember saying goodbye to Naim at the Oakland airport almost 2 years ago to the day, thinking that he would return some day. It was a sad moment then, an optimistic i-will-see-you-again grins, the last photos, the \”fake\” tears, and the UNITED tags. And then 6 months later, our whole relationship shifted…neither of us especially me wanted to see each other. That\’s almost what I am afraid of…going to SFO tomorrow. Not that I won\’t return to the Bay Area, but relationships with people in Berkeley shift so fast. But in the end, it\’s all up to us to maintain if we so desire.
