*1098 - three-week evaluation

Yes, Cornell's great and Ithaca's gorge(ou)s with its rolling cornfields and autumn colours and rushing waterfalls and gatherings of hipsters and the farmers' market and WEGMANS and all that but after three years of living in the (beautiful, no doubt) boonies and I am feeling just so ... relieved? Comfortable? In my own skin? ... back in the heart of a bustling city with all the above in the close vicinity and much, much more. And yes, Boston was great but I think San Francisco suits me so much better. It's only been three weeks but I think I am going to like it here, very much.
