That's kind of funny. Practicaly everyone at my school is from everywhere BUT here. Anyway, Portland's just my style. It's big enough to be interesting, and small enough that it doesn't feel like a big huge industrial city, which was what really turned me off about Pittsburgh and Los Angeles. It's also full of trees and parks and fountains, and I even enjoy the rain, because it's watering all the green stuff. After San Diego, I'm a little starved for green. It's spring now, and I still can't get over how EVERYTHING is poking out flowers and stuff. It's my first real-feeling spring since Springfield, really.
Sadly, I'm spending the summer back in San Diego. There's a drought going on there, and I hope the dry doesn't kill me.
My school's cool. I get to start taking classes for my major next semester, and I feel like drooling. This semester wasn't really too bad, though. I got to take 2D and we're making our own books, and Time arts, which got me a little addicted to Muybridge.
See, I would not be annoyed about spending the summer in San Diego. And I'd kind of like to live in Pittsburgh at some point--probably just because I love the writer Michael Chabon, who sets everything in Pittsburgh.
UMich is pretty much the biggest school ever. But the college town around it, Ann Arbor, is a cute quirky hippie city with a lot of art galleries and used bookstores, and I really love it. I'm spending the summer here, working at Borders. It gets awfully cold, but other than that it's a nice place to be. Something like 40% of the people over 25 in Ann Arbor have MAs or PhDs.
I haven't declared yet, but I'm planning to double major in Creative Writing and ACABS (Ancient Civilizations and Biblical Studies), focusing in Ancient Egypt. Next year I'm taking two semesters of Akkadian, an ancient Mesopotamian language, which means I get to learn cuneiform. For some reason I find this really exciting.
What are you actually majoring in? Would I understand it? And what's the name of your school, anyway?

Yeah.
Anyway, it sounds like you had a busy time since then. Catch up with me sometime?

How's everything? You're going to school in Portland, right? My best friend is from there.
