Today I have been filling out paperwork for my new school, and it feels weird to say the least. I am planning to update my resume tomorrow and then begin an aggressive job hunt in downtown Portland. However, I am having second thoughts about staying here for the summer, and I'm still kicking around ideas regarding some way in which I can be somewhere new and be making money. Beaverton feels less like my home than my parents' home, and I foresee myself feeling isolated if I stay here all summer. There are definitely benefits of being here though; I don't pay rent, my family is awesome, and I will hopefully be able to reconnect with some high school friends and establish some kind of roots. As with all other aspects of my life right now, I am conflicted about my summer plans.
Incidentally, I feel so lucky to have wrapped up my experience at WU with such an amazing week. The picnic, the Silver Falls trip, catering, and our group nap reminded me of all of the warmth and brilliance that you all have shown me these past two years. You have inspired me to be more adventurous, reach further and higher, and genuinely value differences. Thank you all for everything that you have given me. Much love, my friends.
