Pre-Departure

9 days...

With just over a week left in the States, I thought it would be nice to set this blog up so any of my friends or family who want to know what I am up to can stalk me. After a ridiculous year, everything is in order for me to spend the year studying in Guanajuato, Mexico. Even though I am so excited that I can hardly even comprehend the fact that I am really doing this, leaving Portland was really hard. I have had an amazing two years there, and I will miss it dearly. Special thanks to Kate for a ridiculous year at 535 and to my MUNers for an amazing two years.

This past week, I said my goodbyes to all my Portlanders, moved out of my apartment, and made plans to see a few more friends before I leave. Now all that I have to do is pack! My last days in Oregon will be spent bumming around the beach, hiking, kayaking, and reading in coffee shops. You know, being a stereotypical Oregonian. I fly out bright and early on July 9th, and will be returning sometime in late June 2011. I'm not sure how often I will actually write in this once I am in Mexico, but I'm going to try.
