Other than having been moved across my room, the suitcase still hasn't been opened. Probably should get round to that. Soon.

I can't decide whether seeing everyone else disappear via facebook makes me feel like a 5 year old child waiting to catch up with her friends who are already running around Disney Land, or, want to sit staring at a wall for a few hours forcing myself to realize that this IS actually happening and I WILL be joining them in a week's time. Either way, having spent the day slumming it in shitty not socially acceptable pjs, curled up with/pretending to be my cat whilst making my way (yet again) through all 9 seasons of Grey's Anatomy,  is equally as unproductive in getting ready to go make friends with a guy in a mouse outfit as it is making this whole moving abroad thing feel any more real. So to try and make this all feel less unreal in all the things I don't know, I'm going to bore y'all with some of the good stuff I do :) I finally have my dorm assignment all sorted now so I know where I'll physically be even if my head hasn't caught up yet - I'm in a single in Macnaughton "The Asylum" which, being karma's way of kicking me in the butt for bragging about how beautiful all the accommodation is at Reed, really doesn't seem as bad as I've heard :) So I might be here

rather than where Allen Ginsberg performed Howl for the first time in here

but it'll just force me into Portland all that more often. Oh what a shame.

And my eager little googling fingers are literally itching to get hold of Portland.

This does makes me excited :)

Although after looking up potential running tracks near Reed however this

does not. Does anyone actually know the whole if you come face to face with a bear/mountain lion/cougar what you're actually supposed to do? I feel like this is probably vital info I should know, knowing my luck.

Go?
