departing from the west coast

This morning, at around 5 in the morning, I departed from my house in Irvine, a city which I have lived in for the past 9 years. I am now going to get accustomed to living on the east coast, where for each grain of sand there is in the west coast, there is a leaf on trees in the east coast. I step outside and even though I am staying near the Potomac River and it is a dark night, the weather outside is wet and warm. It's an interesting change. These are the physical differences I have experienced so far.

This morning, at around 5 in the morning, I embraced some of my closest friends for the last time for a long time. A few of these friends will be coming to the east coast for college as well but most of them are not so that means that I will see them no more than 30% of the year, which is drastically less than the 100% of the year I used to see them. To make myself feel better, I watch all the old videos that I have made with my friends and I reread the conversations that I have had with them on Facebook. They are all honestly all so funny and I die with every memory I relive. These are the emotional difficulties I have faced so far.
