It stands to reason these things won't kill me
I had lunch with the interim director of ResLife. It was strange although not as awkward I was expecting, plus I got free Thai Gardens. Basically it was because I email her every other week with some grievance that I have with the ResLife institution (I have many indeed), so she was eventually like "okay, Matt, are you doing anything for lunch next week? Let's just sit down and we can go over everything." Perhaps to shut me up, they're putting me on the search committee for the new director of ResLife. Wiggidity wack. I guess it'll be fun.
So we're doing the Kitt Peak thing tomorrow through Tuesday. It's kind of surreal. I'm going to Arizona for a weekend? To look at strange interstellar objects through enormous telescopes? Oh. Of course.
I've realized I might need to take 4 NSMs next semester. Help! Will I miss taking something that... isn't NSM? I'm surprisingly okay with it, but I feel like I'd be missing some essential Wesleyanness if contemporary social issues were not part of my curriculum.
I'm looking forward to going home. For the first time I can remember, really looking forward to it. It's not that I miss friends from high school that much. I kind of do, I guess, but not acutely. I keep in touch with very few people from DHS, and I'm content in that they probably don't miss me that much either, so we'll have our time together and that will be that. No, I really miss the placeness of Portland. Of all the places in the world, that's where I identify myself as being from and sometimes I just want to be back there, even if only briefly, because it's where I'm from. Maybe that doesn't make sense. I don't really know. I just sit up a little straighter (in my car) when I drive across the I-295 bridge past the "CITY LINE: ENTERING PORTLAND" sign. You know. Because it's home.
