too busy living life

The last couple weeks have been awesome. We've done lots of stuff to make the most of our time here and see all that this city and Oregon have to offer. Yesterday we went to the Oregon Coast, which was beautiful. it was a perfectly clear day and it was amazing. we had dinner at the portland city grill, which is on the 30th story and had a great view of the city. we had sushi at this place where it's typical to wait 2 hours to get in, but once you get in and get your food, it's completely worth the wait. Last week we worked a ton and had meetings every night, and it felt like the longest week ever. But maybe as a result or to balance that, this weekend felt pretty long too. I did lots and had a great time. I hung out with teammates who i don't usually hang out with, and was able to really enjoy my time with them.
I'm pretty sad to be leaving Portland. I don't know when i'll get a chance to get back here, and i don't know if i'll ever get a chance to live here again. But while i've been here, it's been great. I wanted to make the most of it, because we've got a big change coming. Going from living in a metropolis to living basically in the middle of nowhere. To be honest, i'm pretty nervous about going to New Orleans and living at Camp Hope. Relatively speaking for this program, i've had a lot of luxuries (the city) and a lot of freedom to come and go as i please. It's definitely something i will miss.
