I feel as though little has occurred in my life in the past few weeks. But stuff has been happening. I've applied for an apartment in Beaverton, Oregon and am awaiting a yay or nay. Hopefully I'll be getting in because that would mean less stress and would make moving to Oregon more real to me. I also have the opportunity to transfer to the Portland DI which means I'll have a job when I get there. I'm just hoping that they have an opening for me. I'm not extremely worried about it, but at the same time, I just wish I knew it was a sure thing before moving. Also, while perusing the public transportation of the Portland metro area, I came across how much monthly and yearly passes cost and let me tell you, it's about as much as a monthly car payment. While it makes total sense on how the whole zone thing works in Portland, I'm not a big fan of how much it costs. Let's just say that if I didn't know any better, I'd have to start growing marijuana in my backyard just to fund my metro pass.
My grandma's health is declining. And what's worse is that I don't have the money, time or a cheap way to go visit her. I mean, do I take time off work when I need the money to move? Do I not move so I can go visit her? All these important life decisions are coming down to do I visit Grandma or not? For most, I think the answer would be do what you've gotta do to go visit her. But on the flip side, how am I going to pay for plane, train or bus fare when I've got to pay for a deposit and first month's rent on Utah's minimum wage?
Well...I guess those are the main points of my life this month. Some moving stress. Some work stress. A bit more than normal family stress.
But you know, it's life. It's either happening to you, or you're making it happen for you.

Glad to see that you're moving on though! I hope you get that appt and job. You deserve it AND I LOVE oregon! I used to live there when I was young. You should totally grow marijuana I hear it's lucrative.
