I haven't updated in quite a while! I'm currently in the lunchroom-esque cafeteria area. It's pretty, boring...
Anyway, Portland. Portland is magical! :) I.. like my classes for the most part. There are a few, like Women's Studies that I would be fine and dandy without. I'm doing okay with the whole being away from home thing. That part isn't getting to me too much. The fact of the matter is, my home is my home. And Orange County is where my family is, and I'll always have a need to spend SOME time with them.
The feeling is quite interesting, I knew from a young age that my future would reflect a lot of independence and an early beginning. It's just an interesting feeling the separation from it all. It's not that I don't like it, because I really do love it. I love making my own rules.
If I had to pick out one thing that I didn't like about Portland, something that shouldn't bother me... it would probably be the lack of "color". I'm not being mean or anything, but seriously this place is so... white. I always knew the majority was Caucasian, but man.. It's just funny to sit here and know that I am the only individual that is Hispanic in my entire eyes view. It's cool though, it's just weird to see that it effects no one else. Whatevs though, I guess Orange County is as diverse as you get on the west coast.
