the sun sets on another summer

the sun sets on another summer im writing this post while sitting at an LAX waiting to board my flight to boston. this summer went by weirdly fast but in a way that i cant quite describe. i feel like ive been in LA forever, but i also feel like i left boston to start my internship about 3 seconds ago. i talked to a friend whos an LA native about this feeling and he said that its because time doesnt really pass in LA every day looks exactly the same and its like youre caught in a time loop. i dont know if i like that. i like seasons which show you the passage of time. there are some things ill miss and some things i wont. ill miss the lovely people and studio culture of santa monica studio. the people who make the games that inspire me are just as inspiring themselves. i wont miss being coming to work on a tuesday to bash my head on the same bug ive been bashing my head on since last thursday. ill miss the satisfaction of getting my code to work. i wont miss my long morning commute and getting around LA without a car. ill miss playing smash every lunch break. i wont miss being too tired to function properly after getting home from work. ill miss the nice sea breeze around playa vista. i wont miss the air pollution that prohibited me from running, which in turn prohibited me from actually getting any exercise this summer. i dont think id want to live in LA. it has everything i want in theory but theres something about it that is lonely. i have more thoughts but not very much time to write them down cause im boarding soon. ill have an entire flight to stew on my summer though. heres some pictures of some sunsets. LA is terribly air polluted but it does make for some great sunsets.
