Big city boy vs small town man

I spent Thursday-Saturday in San Francisco. It was my first time down in about 5 weeks. the longest interval yet. For some reason, when I was going down more regularly I felt happier to be there. Whereas this weekend I really wasn't that pushed on it. I think it's because I felt so solid in my life in Santa Rosa. Even the awkward things that have happened to me in the past few weeks seemed to not effect me. I've kinda been leading a double life this year. between SF and SR. I'm trying hard to keep up with friends in SF (which i was productive in doing this weekend), while also continueing to forge ties with people in sonoma county. After a few days in SF, I get into the rountine of things and then i have to head back to SR. And my trips used to be bi-weekly. It seems I'm happier wherever I've been the longest. i don't like changing my rountine. especially between a big city and medium size town. they both have their good and bad attributes. Now I wonder What'll happen to me next year..In Bellingham Wa or Vancouver bc. I wonder how well I'll adapt, in another state or country. I know very little about Bellingham, and my only time in Vancouver was almost 2 years ago. I'm just not sure what it'll be like to live in a city that isn't San Francisco. I know the campus is located in an almost suburbian penninsula which makes it kinda simialar to SR. But I've grown to appreciate smaller towns. The people are friendlier, hospitable, less crazy and life is more laid-back. Though, based on my experiences, a similar thing could be said about Canada and Canadians. And there'll be a good range of people. Big city types from calgary, edmonton, Winnepeg, toronto, montreal, halifax etc and people from small towns from all over the vast canadian frontier. And of course the 11% international students. It'll be interesting.
If I do indeed end up at UBC, I'd also be in a bit of deep water about my major. I'm thinking strongly about a poli sci major. But I feel like I wanna get into more depth with American politics. hence my reason for applying to American University in Washington DC (most politically active campus in the US). though i guess that could be an overdose. Though I know political science is more about politics in general. And looking at the US politically from the Canadian perspective would be interesting. we'll see
