Oregon Dreams

It started last semester (I'm in college). I had a sudden desire to just run away, to escape from the university life and enter some type of "real world" as opposed to the psuedo-worlds I've been living in recently. For reasons I can't explain, Oregon became my "promised land" In my mind Oregon is the epitome of good, while I live here, in "Babylon". I've never actually been to Oregon, and it is an idealized place, no question. I have no idea life there is like, but I hold on to the hope that it is better than here, if only because anything has to be better than here.
