Welp, today’s my last day of work. Again. Although this time it’s of my own choosing. Originally the plan was to get my old job back and go to school part time. But then they downgraded my old job, so I’m just going back full time now. I think this is a much better idea.
So today I’m done with OHSU, probably for the last time. I’m also moving to the Sellwood area of Portland. It’s about four miles south of downtown on the other side of the river. I’m going to be rooming with a girl name Fiona that I was going to meet when I posted back in May. I don’t k ow her that well, but I feel better about her than I do about someone random off of Craigslist.
My move-in day is the first, and classes start on the 28th. Now I just have to focus on cleaning, packing, moving, studying and, oh yeah, actually getting accepted.
One hurdle at a time.

I realise I’ve been neglecting to post because I’ve been waiting for something to happen. Namely, I’ve been waiting until I get accepted to PSU (Portland State) and can officially say I’m going back this fall. It hasn’t happened yet, though I am still within their parameters for a response. Because I’m going for a post-bac degree, my application was literally just my contact information and what course I was interested in. So it’s not like they can reject me on merit.
Regardless, I’m waiting. Waiting to get accepted, waiting to find a roommate, waiting to move, waiting until my temp job ends (finally!). I am excited to start studying again, and I’m excited to see what a degree in engineering will bring. Still scared of the calculus and the physics, but we’ll burn that bridge when we come to it.
