1800 – 1809 hours
Facing the Millstream, with my back about 30 yards from The Bistro on Willamette University campus, Salem, OR, USA
41 degrees, fog
Walking back to my dorm from the art building on Willamette University campus, I feel like I’m lost in a cloud. My vision extends only as far as the nearest lamppost, about 10 yards away, and all else disintegrates into haze. Fog has covered Salem today creating an ominous Sunday evening. My parents came out to dinner with me today and were shocked by the difference of Portland weather to here. My mom described Portland as being beautiful, clear, blue skies. I would be happy if I could even see the sky today. The fog chills my body as I anxiously await the entrance to Matthews and I note that if it weren’t for the freezing temperature, this entry and observation would be a lot more in depth and clear. The increasingly cold weather makes spending time outside harder and harder, I need to buy myself a winter jacket!
