Leaving On A Jet Plane

Well, I'm back in Oregon, at least for a while.

Packing commenced on Monday this week and took me about three days to get done.  Packing might be the worst thing in the world.  Trying to fit your life into 3 bags is not enjoyable.

Packing sucks

My friend Sophie came up from Denver on Monday so we could hang out a bit and say goodbye.  We ended up going to Odell's brewery on a spur of the moment decision but missed the last tour of the day by five minutes.  Oh well.  It was my other friend's birthday on Monday as well and we went out at night to celebrate.

On Tuesday, Heather arranged a surprise activity for us.  I tried to figure out what it was but was unsuccessful.  It turned out to be paddle boarding!  I had never done it before and the weather was beautiful which made for a great time.  That night we went out to dinner.  I originally thought it was just going to be Heather and me but was surprised when other friends were there as well.  If you don't know, Fort Collins has copious amounts of restaurants and almost all of them are delicious.  Unfortunately, this place is in the top 2 for worst places I've ever been.  I had to send my food back twice (I've never sent back food before).  If you're ever in Fort Collins, do not go to The Boot Grill.  Although the food was terrible, it made for a good laugh.

Wednesday was a pretty depressing day.  My flight wasn't until almost nine at night and I still had a fair amount of packing to do.  When the packing was finally done, Heather, Will, and I walked around campus and then played a game of Gin Rummy.  After saying farewell to the house, CSU, and Fort Collins, Heather drove me down to the airport and we had our last goodbye (at least for now).  Having to say bye to your two best friends in the span of less than 3 weeks kind of sucks.

Empty rooms are sad

I flew into Seattle because the ticket was about $100 cheaper for some reason as opposed to heading to Portland and my dad was driving down anyway.  The added 3 hours to the trip was not the greatest thing in the world but it all worked out.

Congratulations to all the West Coast people graduating today!

That's all for now.  Bye.
