I am slowly packing up all my stuff into boxes, and deciding what are the most important things to me that i can fit in two suitcases (including clothing, book and mexican food). If any of you have helped/seen me move you know how much shit i have. part of the problem is i've always been conscious of money and tried to spend my money on actual things that i can keep. consequently the things i buy are my things, and i'm not getting rid of them. i also have a lot of crap i've collected at thrift stores/free bins that i should get rid of, but i can't. two bags is a really small amount of stuff. i am taking the complete works of jane austen which should keep me going for a while.
in 4 weeks i'll be on a plane to China, for a year. a whole fucking year in China. I'm scared, but i also feel like something is wrong here and this is going to be the answer. with that said, i'm not running away from Portland, i running towards China with the intent of gaining perspective. Sam is going to visit in October, and hopefully my parents will come in winter/spring. i'm freaked out, but i know i've made my decision and i'm going to go though with it without thinking about it.
I'm working at PSU right now which will pay rent/ other bills for a while. i'm still afraid to go to OHSU, although i'm making peace with the situation. a woman i really hated up there got fired, and that makes me glad.
I may have found Butthead a place to live while i'm gone, but if anyone is interested in having her for a year e-mail me.
I beat Bowser today. i've been working on that fucker all weekend.
