Last week was the last week of summer classes at PSU, and even though the Writing Center is open, most everything is closed. Like the computer labs. And the cafeteria. At PSU, there's a whole month in which really nothing happens, and that's from mid-August to mid-September. I was sad to realize that the cafeteria shut down. I didn't realize last week when I said, "Have a nice weekend" to David, the cashier guy, that I should have said, "Have a nice life." Or maybe, "see you next year." But, truth be told, I wasn't ready for PSU to shut down on me. I wasn't ready to wind down yet.
Now that I'm winding down, I am ready to move on back to Minneapolis and get on with the exciting things that lie ahead for me. I'm ready to welcome a whole new group of first year students to the U.
That can't happen until next Thursday. So, in the meantime, I need to just enjoy being here in Portland, even if I can't eat another one of Bubba's breakfast burritos.
