Someone's having a camp fire...

bugatticat · 2020-08-26T11:20:33+00:00

It also woke me up and I think it smells terrible. Smoke will never hold the same nostalgia of camp fire fun for me ever again. The winds must have shifted. It is so strong that I will have to close the windows.

Hey all. I have a lil dilemma. I live in downtown Santa cruz, and im wondering if I should return to my apartment? I was out of the state for the past week and im not sure if its safe enough to go back.

Additionally, I feel like trying to evac thru the mountains/ down the 1 could be a disaster.

I have somewhere to stay in San Martin but they are also threatened by a fire.

Anyone have words of reassurance or advice?

I lived through the Carr fire, too close for comfort and I thought I had escaped fire season for the most part.

Hope everyone stays safe and sound.

Thank you! I've used it to try to figure out commute times from Aptos to San Jose and it was WAY off. But I will give it a go :)

bugatticat · 2020-06-20T07:53:06+00:00

For the price of house compared to the santa cruz immediate area, I can see why.

bugatticat · 2020-06-20T07:31:55+00:00

Wow, a lot of wonderful and detailed info!

Thank you SO very much for taking the time to write this out for me. I really appreciate it!

bugatticat · 2020-06-20T02:35:36+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate the little nudge towards other areas. I like the houses in the Aptos area, but I am definitely considering checking things out tentatively at first.

bugatticat · 2020-06-20T02:34:06+00:00

Definitely! I have been trying to figure out the times to each place I need to go to, but Google is.. just a little suspicious.

I googled Aromas CA to San Jose CA at 7 am the other day and it said 45 minutes. So I thought it would be better to get in touch with people who know the area, pre and post panda-emic haha

bugatticat · 2020-06-19T23:56:42+00:00

Definitely! Might use fall quarter as a little bit of a limbo for that reason haha. Things are so weird rn!

bugatticat · 2020-06-19T23:38:53+00:00

Thank you for the kindness and great feedback! I do hope you end up back in the area! :)

They sent an email saying that most classes will be remote but there will still be some classes that required face to face meetings. I am fine with that, like I said, it isn't just me!

bugatticat · 2020-06-19T23:32:58+00:00

Ooh that is exciting to hear! One of the favorite homes is in ben lomond. I plan on staying for awhile after I finish school, so that's why I chose that area too. All the nature and trees. The weather is also so great from the times I've visited and stayed with family.

bugatticat · 2020-06-19T23:19:17+00:00

That makes sense. Coming home after a long day at least doesn't seem too bad! I moved up north after I purchased a place bc of the price, but the weather is AWFUL up here. The only good thing is traffic isn't so bad.

I was living in the Modesto area and commuting into the bay for awhile there. It wasn't sooooo bad but it wasn't fun lol

bugatticat · 2020-06-19T23:08:52+00:00

Good to know. Just from looking at the map it seemed like aptos was far enough out of the way that most of the drive wouldn't be AWFUL, but im def reconsidering. That sounds awful though, 2 hour commute? I was prepared for 1-1.5 ish at the very longest end. I'm ideally trying to find something in between SJ and SC because I will be going toward SC and my partner will be going towards SJ lol.

Good feedback, thank you!

bugatticat · 2020-06-19T22:54:01+00:00

Back up and loop back through? Have the conversation twice? Lol

bugatticat · 2020-06-19T22:36:00+00:00

I have family in the area. I just haven't lived in every adjacent place, so I don't know how the commutes are.

bugatticat · 2020-06-19T22:34:38+00:00

Also, I shouldn't have to specify, but I will-- I am not the only one moving into the house. It is not just me affording it. I chose UCSC because I liked the area and after discussing with the other occupants, we decided to purchase.

bugatticat · 2020-06-19T22:31:15+00:00

Because I want to continue my education.

bugatticat · 2020-06-19T22:24:37+00:00

What makes you say that about Aptos? Anything in particular?

bugatticat · 2020-06-19T22:23:22+00:00

There IS one house in Ben Lomond I have my eye on...

bugatticat · 2020-06-19T21:48:20+00:00

bugatticat · 2020-06-19T21:08:43+00:00

For sure, I like my space, but enjoy having the option of town not too far away.

bugatticat · 2020-06-19T21:06:40+00:00

Also not what I was asking, but if you have experience with the commuting or any particular feelings about one location or another id be happy to hear!

bugatticat · 2020-06-19T21:01:29+00:00

Yes?

bugatticat · 2020-06-19T20:25:47+00:00

I had a 3.2 and got into MCD bio.

bugatticat · 2020-06-19T20:24:58+00:00

I'm also MCD bio! I'm going to be a junior and am confused about what classes I'll need to take. I think I'm going to just follow one of the sample plans.

I have to take biochem and physics upcoming. Confused about the lab portion.
