I almost didn’t notice (and probably would not have if I were busier than I currently am), but last week marked that I’ve now lived in Portland for three months. In those three months I’ve been busy enough to nearly forget my own birthday, I’ve looped around Portland on Streetcar […]
Last Thursday morning, I had the last class of my academic career. It’s still sinking in. Thirty minutes ago, I submitted my last assignment. That feels equally weird. Earlier this morning, I started the annual move out of the dorm, which I have gotten used to thanks to my co-ops […]

I thought I’d talk today about how “safe” of a city Melbourne comes off as. Compared to Philly, I’d say it’s much safer. That doesn’t mean it’s perfect, but if there are doggy parts of Melbourne, they either blend in really well with the rest of the city or they […]
