Went West

I had planned on writing while in California but my time was crunched like no time before. I clocked approximately 1900 miles in the car in seven days. I'm still recovering. But it was all worth it. This was by far the best trip west I've taken since moving out here. It was a combination of my state of mind and being open to each and every person with whom I came into contact. Each encounter was inspirational in its own right. I'm still processing most of them, but haven't had time because I'm surprisingly really tired at this early hour.

But I have a feeling that they will stay with me for a long time as I weave through this interesting time in my life. It all has to do with life and passion and writing and finding my way. And I feel that my trip was a springboard for this in many ways. It mostly left me with the encouragement I think I needed to continue what I'm doing. Whatever that is. And then there was the desert.

I have a good feeling again about California and I'm happy about it. I'll put some new pictures up soon from my trip.  But now it's back to the business of school and finishing it. I didn't receive the NYU rejection yet, which is surprising.

It should arrive shortly. I ended up taking most of last week off, only addressing my paper on two days.Although I did no writing, I did formalize some points in my head and on paper so I feel that I'm ready to go. Starting tomorrow. I'm getting feedback on Wednesday on the 18 pages I submitted before the break. I'm a little nervous about it. I didn't get a chance to preamble the class before they took it home, so hopefully it won't be too bad. I already know I need to go back through it, which I'm fine with. I just would hate to hear it sucks at this juncture. So we'll see. So that's it for now. We're all caught up. Soon I'll be back to the grind and I imagine I will have stories.
