i am done with high school! now just waiting for graduation.
this week is/has been full of long car trips. saturday and today were up and back down from stanford. tomorrow is magic mountain! and then sunday i'm going up to berkeley for orientation. i hate being stuck in the car but i guess i better get used to it.
my brother graduated from stanford this weekend. wow. it was cool. and so frickin hot. i felt sorry for all the graduates because they had to sit there in their gowns with more clothes underneath. oh gosh. just imagine us thursday. i hope it's not really hot. steve jobs was the speaker. ceo and founder of apple and pixar. i really liked his speech. inspiring. one thing that he said that really stood out to me was about connecting the dots. he said something along the lines of that you can't connect the dots looking foward, only looking backwards later will you see the dots connected. i tried looking for the exact quote. here's some of it.
"Believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well-worn path, and that will make all the difference."
