New Student Stuff

Hello people!

I'm a new student at college, going on New Student Trips and participating in New Student Orientation (NST and NSO, respectively).

Most exciting things that have happened so far:

1. I hiked 12 miles up and down a mountain
2. I ate a large quantity of wild huckleberries
3. I slept outside under the greatly-visible stars
4. I semi-set up my dorm
• still waiting on that futon
5. I watched a fire dancing show
6. I explored Portland and:
1. Ate at food carts 
• an  absolutely fantastic blackened salmon with chipotle mayo pie (shout-out to Whiffies)
• a disappointing "veggie mezze plate" that took twelve minutes (probably don't want a shout-out, although their falafel was pretty good) 
1. Went to the Saturday Market
2. Didn't get lost
7. I BOUGHT PLANTS
• a peace-lily named Josephina, a tillandsia named Tilly Jr. Jr., and a currently unnamed succulent
8. I BOUGHT NUTELLA
9. I found a cool tea store that I plan to frequent (cool tea store)

Tomorrow I start classes!

Until next week,

Cecilia
