I'm in Portland. I didn't have internet for a while and didn't feel like dragging my laptop to a coffee shop or other wifi place. I got here Saturday afternoon and moved all my stuff into my little apartment. It's pretty nice. I haven't had any horribly loud neighbors yet, even though I live on a pretty major street, so it's sort of noisey outside ( Read more... )

that is so awesome that you're actually in portland right now!

i know what you mean about starting expenses. starting anew sucks financially. but it's worth it. you should hang out with mike roland and his gf nicole. they are really cool and could probably show you around!

I know. I sort of don't believe it. Like, I KNOW I'm here. I see things that I know are in Portland, but I feel like I'm supposed to go home soon? Does that make sense? haha. I feel like in a few weeks I'm going to be back in Florida. It's a weird feeling. Did you/Do you feel like that sometimes?

we came with faith who went back after a week and i think because i knew she was going back and i wasn't, it felt more permanent for me. I think it felt surreal to me for a few days though. It's such a drastic change.

but jenn said it took her a while to feel like she lived here. like, i think, a week ago we were talking and she said "It still doesn't feel like I actually live here." So maybe it'll just take getting into a routine or something before it starts to feel like "home" (whatever that is).

I'm so excited for you!! Good luck in the job search. I will have to come out and visit you sometime. I have way more vacation days this year, thank God.

Mmm bagels and peanut butter.

Too bad your bro didn't take the job in Portland. Not that he should have because I think I read that Intel is laying off a lot of people in this area. =/

And I don't think I ever want to eat bagels and peanut butter again. I've had it for 6 straight mornings and I am sick of it.

Not to mention I was eating it when the news came on about this peanut butter recall!! haha. I was like, "WHAT?!" *starts choking*

Then I realized it was just packaged stuff and not jars of real peanut butter, but man...scared me. It would figure that I would move out here with no job and no health insurance and get poisoned by a jar of peanut butter! haha
