i heard back about interviews! stanford and berkeley want me. they will wine me and dine me for nine days total during the process. i have the grand teetering scheme of a california adventure hatching. i want to travel from san diego to san francisco. (how far can that be? its one state!) the mode of transport is to be determined. and i'll climb yosemite and joshua tree.
i also connected to my best friend from third grade. she left round, pale new jersey to become thin, tall, blond california. with a little facebook she found me, brought up the overly-involved games of pretend we used to play. i have to admire that kind of courage! next she was chirping about her family's house in san diego and a condo in san francisco and how she'll take care of me. the world feels wonderfully generous. if all goes well, i will be moving to a state where the weather is made for humans (today SF was sunny 72F). i will have a playground like yosemite just a few blocks away. i will get a lot of restlessness and a whole pint of leaving out of my system.
my real secret wish is to go to school in california and drive cross country with my tent to get there. (shhh.)
