thoughts on corvallis

so...corvallis. interesting town. but its been great, and i love experiencing new places. though im going to have to learn to avoid asian food here cuz its just not the same.
thoughts on oregon-
corvallis is in the top ten biggest cities of oregon, man, thats insane. their downtown is all of 4 square blocks, its on par with maybe edmond i think, size wise and style of the town. cute, but not deserving of the name downtown.
people are different here. and i thought washington was liberal and outdoorsy. not here, where organic is the norm, hippies never died, and people expect recycling. its sure been fun people watching though, even just on campus, its an ecclectic variety of styles that i dont normally see.
however, people are also pretty damn nice. maybe its oregon, or maybe its that im not 18 anymore, but coming here and not knowing anyone was a lot easier than going to LA alone.
i like that i can walk places here. no one walks in LA. and for good reason. maybe someday ill move to new york. but people are angry there.
man i miss the food. foodwise its going to be a long ten weeks.
ive decided that maybe someday ill love living in a cute town like this where i can walk to noahs bagels for sunday breakfast, but while im young and not tied down, i do better in a larger city. not necessarily in the ghetto though, i think im done with that
