Quotes!

"We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes watered."
-Tom Stoppard, ‘Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead’

"To go wrong in one’s own way is better than to go right in someone else’s."
-Dostoevsky, ‘Crime and Punishment’

"We must not, in trying to think about how we can make a big difference, ignore the small daily difference we can make which, over time, add up to big differences that we often cannot foresee."
-Marian Wright Edelman, ‘Families in Peril’

"If the day and the night are such that you greet them with joy, and life emits a fragrance like flowers and sweet-scented herbs, is more elastic, more starry, more immortal, - that is your success."
-Thoreau, ‘Walden’

I got my Oregon driver license today! Yay me! Now I have to take Sylvia to the DEQ to be inspected, then go back to the DMV, get a VIN inspection, and get my title and registration transfered to Oregon. It's a hassle, but long overdue.

I also submitted my transfer application to PSU, took a campus tour, and talked to an admissions advisor to get a general idea of how many of my Stanford credits might transfer. All in all a pretty productive day. I'm still fighting to convince them that I really am an Oregon resident and qualify for in-state tuition, but it's actually kind of complicated, so that's still up in the air.

General update on life things... Work sucks and is getting worse, but that's all I need to say about that. Renegade Rose lost one of our dancers to a job in Austin, and is losing one of our musicians to a job in the Bay Area, but is otherwise going strong. I had a lovely trip down to Berkeley for Mom's birthday, and had some nice time with Mom, Graham, Monee and Pa. I saw "Bend It Like Beckham" on Monday night with my friend Joe (from Kimball), Hugo, Kirsty, and her friend Savannah. Good movie. It's the kind of movie that makes me wish I were really really good at something.

I've taken the last two days off to work on school stuph, and it's been lovely not going to work. And Hugo reminded me that this weekend is Labor Day weekend, so I have a paid holiday on Monday. Hooray!

So life is busy, as usual. Don't know when I'll post next, but hopefully I'll get some pictures up from my CA visit soon.
