Here in SF

Well for East Coasters it's 9am. Here on the west coast it's 6am. Let's just say that I have been awake for a while and slept unevenly. I leave in a few hours, a 'driver' is picking me and taking me the 45-80min drive from the city to Mountain View (depending on traffic).

Jared is here with me. He made it last night just as parents and I were leaving the hotel restaurant. Excellent timing. The dinner was soooo good, a few little samples came out compliments of the chef - so we got to try some other flavours. yum!

Yesterday was fun. I met up with my parents around 1pm. It's so fun to just hang out with them - just me. We commented that it feels like no time has passed when we're together, but that it does NOT feel that way when we're apart. weird. We wandered around a bit looking for lunch, ate, wandered, ate, drank, wandered. The weather was beautiful. I don't have the energy to give details.. perhaps later?

I would say that my mental state was good for most of the day, but later in the early evening I would gets waves of the butterflies if I let my mind wander too far. Now I am a bit... ALERT, for lack of the right word. I feel like I've had a few coffees, though I haven't had one yet. I just made some and I think it will be a good thing...

well I just wanted to check in - say hello! I'm very excited about the day, the things I'll see, the people I'll be meeting. Oooooh, it's just so crazy. I'm trying to enjoy it - honest.
