Back In Portland

I can't believe it's only been a week since I've been back in Portland. So much has happened! My cousins ended up flying in the same day I did (by complete accident) so I hung out with them a bit. I eventually found a place to live a few days ago. My landlord is awesome and the location is legit. I'm very happy with it. But it's driving me crazy that I have to wait another week until my parents come up with my bed and an office desk. Everything's just on the floor and scattered all over the place, so all my shit is at Carlee's and I've been bed hopping all week. I'm such a bum!

That's me at my new place =)

I've got a crazy amount of things to be doing right now, but instead I'm blogging. I still have to move my futon and tv out of Carlee's, find a job, set up internet at my place (I'm at Coffee Time using their free internet) and I need to find a printer so I can order transcripts for Australia. 

I'm getting more and more excited about the whole Australia thing. I was having cold feet before, but now I'm super stoked to go on another crazy adventure. Plus, traveling alone sounds like such an amazing experience. I think it's a great way to discover trust, not only in other people, but in myself. I go through phases where I'm terrible at trusting myself and I get really nervous and lonely and kinda cut myself off from everything. But I kinda like when that happens. Life isn't suppose to be stable all the time. Actually, now that I think of it, it's rarely a stable thing. So, while I'm young, irresponsible and unstable, I think I should spend my time traveling...because it sounds amazing =)  

I've got one more year before I graduate and then I have to start paying back loans and I guess grow up. Booo, that sounds so lame. Maybe I'll just flee the country and go to Buenos Aires. That sounds like a better plan. Or maybe I'll fall head over heels in love and become a housewife, like this song by CocoRosie...
