im in portland and its so pretty here. theres even mountains with snow! haha. it was like 70 yesterday and they were running around in swimsuits!lol. silly!they even have a chinatown and everything. and im meeting so many people, and i love it. hurricane ashley almost came out because my teammates proved to me tonight that they are selfish and unsupportive. i have had 0 patience since 8 am on friday when we left, and it has continued to go southfrom there. phylicia has been praying for patience for the 2 of us and im pretty sure it hasnt been working. it was really hard saying goodbye to gerard for a week and i know that that sounds pathetic but were together everynight. however im just enjoying my vacation and working really hard on my programs. if you pray or meditate please pray that i break into finals! I WANNA GO FOR THE GOLD BABY!
