The Happiest Moment of The Year

    There is nothing exciting more than traveling to San Francisco twice a month and spending almost half of November there. Despite the six-hour - such an exhausted journey - flight crossing the entire United States, it worth me to spend time hanging around with my girlfriend in a wormer place, especially it's about a month to Christmas.

    I must say that students, who study in east coast, are not as good in making activities than those in west coast. I travel here not only want to stay with my girlfriend, but to look for any opportunity seeking activities in San Francisco. Moreover, this is my first time having thanksgiving holiday in the U.S. and I chose a place, which has more friends and fun, to enjoy the rest of November. 

    My girlfriend started her graduate program, which is graphic design in San Francisco, a year earlier than I did in 2008. At the time, I just finished the ESL program there and started to prepare applications for graduate schools. I'm not telling a story how I met her, but sharing a feeling how lucky I am to have this long-distance relationship. After becoming a loving couple with her, which was two weeks after I arrived Boston, I started to realize that I just stepped in the kind of situation that is the most hazardous condition for loving couples. I've never wondered how long that I can keep her heart thousands miles away, but I knew that I wouldn't win her trust unless I respect my work and responsibility of being here. She is just the kind of girl who is so straight and honest that I want to get together with.

    Since the first day I arrived, I experienced the life what she has told me on the phone before. The major of what she studies needs creative ideas and sense to finish each artwork (homework). There are still so many hard works I couldn't sympathize until I had the chance doing homework by her side. I can suddenly realize that she is strong enough so I don't need to worry too much about her. Nonetheless, it's thanksgiving holiday. We decided to have our boring tedious lives funnier. We spared time picking food in the supermarket and prepared the dinner together. I enjoy every moment doing everything with my girlfriend and make sure we'll have good time in the rest of the holiday week.

    When the first time I landed at San Francisco, which was also the first city that I visited, I was attracted by the ever-sunshine weather and multi cultural environment. Honestly, my first impression of this city was a good place for travel, for people to enjoy the retirement, and for fun. However, I don't worry about my girlfriend even though she still studies in the city with many students who speak the same language with her. The program what she studies is tough and she barely has time hanging around them. What the most important is that we're pretty sure about the purpose of why we're here and what we're spending time and money for.
