So winter quarter is finally over! Yesterday was a really awesome way to end the quarter. “Final Crit” was just sitting around eating and talking about the work and next quarter and stuff. And afterwards a bunch of us (like…20) went down to The Ram for dinner, which was fun, despite being shuffled off to the kiddie table cause some of us aren’t 21. I actually didn’t mind all that much cause I kind of prefer smaller non-drunken groups, so that was cool. There should be more VCD gatherings. I don’t really hang out with the design bunch, but I’d like to more cause they’re all pretty nice. I feel like I finally actually know everyone now. (Apparently it took me like a whole year to remember everyone’s names.) And when I got home I had half a Reuben and got my poofy tshirt in the mail! yay!
Zach and I also finally sat down to plan our road trip, like 2 days before leaving and we decided to just go down the coast of Oregon instead of going all the way down to SF, which makes me kinda sad cause I really wanna see Arlene, but we realized it would be too much driving. I’m still really excited though, supposedly the Oregon coast is really pretty. It’ll be nice to not look at a screen for like a whole week.
And a random note, is it weird that one of my favorite things about the end of the quarter is peeling off the old stickers on my husky card and putting on the new ones? I really really like putting brand new stickers on it. So fresh.
Okay, time to pack. Hopfully I’ll return by next Saturday…

When I was in college, I (illegally) camped on the cliffs on the Oregon coast once with my girlfriend and a friend. The views on the south coast are simply incredible (especially if you’re camping on a promontory that juts out into the water and is cliffs on three sides). I think our site was somewhere around here, between Brookings and Gold Beach. We parked in the parking area for the scenic view of Natural Bridge Cove, and went on an animal trail to the right, rather than going left on the established trail to the viewing area (which is like ten feet from the parking area and totally worth the stop). Our camp was a couple hundred feet north (right) of what you see in the linked picture.
Silly comment filter put yours into the moderation pile, I wish I would have seen it earlier so we could have checked out that really cool cove in that picture.
I really loved the coast, it was awesome seeing the big rock formations without any big beachfront property scattered all over them or anything.
