and now i'm going to take a couple deep breaths
from father's day to this last monday, i was having a crazy ass week where i was sick, homesick, crying, freaking out about classes, broke, drunk, and in the emergency room, worrying about maybe being homeless for a bit. since monday, when we found out we can stay in our current place for a another month (!) I've calmed down, felt better. i'm only taking political science this summer, and i absolutely love the class. planned parenthood is getting more involved, but everyone i'm working with is super nice and super cool, so it's an absolute pleasure. longtime volunteers are the nicest people you will ever meet.
also! got to kick it with a friend of mine who recently got kicked out of boot camp, and is now pack in the pacific north west for a while. also got to kick it with nicest-person-ever and future roommate monica. i came out to her and it was totally cool.
the internship has been fantastic. marching in the parade and tabling at pride were two of the most positive experiences i've ever had. and crowd canvasing in lake owsego wasn't that bad. i feel like i've created a bond with pretty everyone i'm working with already, and grassroots organization is incredibly empowering. it teaches you how to empower others, and you feel like you've made a a difference. it's the best thing ever. oh! and a picture of me is going out in the ppan newsletter.
the sticker says "HOT SEX is Consensual Sex. Consent is the yes you give when you feel free to say no."
So things have been good, and are getting better. portland has been good to me.
