I'm in Oregon! It hasn't rained... yet... but with a 90% chance today I don't think I'll be able to say that much longer.

It's been a busy end of the week though. Thursday I went to the most authentic redneck country music club in Tampa, where I had a lot of fun line dancing. Then Friday I went to Medieval Times in Orlando to watch knights joust each other on horses and eat a lot of really good food with our hands (as there was no silverware in the middle ages apparently). The net result of this however was I didn't get very much sleep, so while waking up at 3 AM Saturday to catch my plane wasn't too hard, staying awake during the rest of the day was. I slept a little on the flight but it wasn't a very restful sleep. I also got personally searched because I set off the metal detector twice, because I forgot I had batteries in a small pocket in my jeans. My suitcases were also searched, TSA left me a nice little note about that. Then me and my huge amount of suitcases took the awesome light rail from the airport to a station where my manager picked me up to take me to the house I'm staying at for a little bit before my lease starts for my apartment. The light rail went right through downtown Portland, so I got to see quite a bit of that, and everything is really green here. There's also a TON of spiders up here, I've killed four already and it hasn't even been 24 hours yet. But I had heard about the spider problems, and luckly I'm not as scared by them as I used to be when I was younger.
