This is quite a mixed bag of nuts not only population wise, but my emotions towards attending this school.

On one hand it's cheap, it's easy, I'll have time for another job, and I can finish my undergrad early without debt.

On the other, I am finding it extremely difficult to let go of the school I wished to attend, especially after attempting to gain in-state acceptance and the circumstances that prevented it.

Whatever. I love the people, I love the food and culture, and I love Oregon weather. (Powells, dance studios, taverns and an over abundance of tea houses are also a plus)

It's good to be home.
