Things to remember about portland: (in no particular order)
-the lights of the city blurred in the rain while biking over the Burnside Bridge
-the coziness of my apartment on a cold rainy day
-Karl...everything about Karl
-random trips to Sauvie Island
-excursions to the coast during the summer
-Hawthorne St.
-fair trade stores
-Powells Books - my favorite store in the world
I have started selling what little furniture and belongings that I have here in Portland, and I find it both saddening and freeing to be surrounded by a half empty apartment. I came here not knowing how long I would stay, and find myself leaving earlier than expected.
Today is December 1st. Time is flying. Soon I will be home, enjoying the comforts of the familiar and spending time with the family I adore and miss. Leaving Karl for 9 days right before I leave for good will be tough...but I am aching to go home and spend Christmas where I belong. Mom, Dad, and Sarah (ok, and Sophie)...I'll be home soon. Love you.

I hope you keep up the bolog in China, if possible. We really miss you (and your beef jerky) in class.

Aww my lili.
the reverse voyeurism of blogging sometimes amazes me. "here is my most personal moment, everyone come look". The internet age when two people can meet as kids in an AOL chat room and keep in touch 10ish years later via open book diary entries...wow. Go Internet! you best be using a skype account to keep in touch while you are over there...
I would tell you to cheer up because you're going to China, but i know your plenty excited already. Leaving things behind is a hard thing to do. All will be good.
