I wanna stand up, I wanna let go
You know, you know - no you don't, you don't
I wanna shine on in the hearts of men
I wanna mean it from the back of my broken hand

the graduate dean returned my thesis today with the stamp of approval. friday i'm going to pick it up and deliver it, with 9 additional clean copies, to the library for binding. a large sum of money and a few days later, i will pick them all up, drop a few copies in their respective mailboxes, and officially be done with graduate school.

in about a month i can pick up a piece of paper that says i'm a master of creative writing.

ha. wow.

well now how did that get there?...

john mayer trio is good for my soul this week.

best $13 i've spent in a LONG time.

(and i've spent alot of money in the last year...)

When Einstein explained his theory of relativity, he couldn't express it in the precise, scientific writing of physics. He had to use poetry. Poetry, the connection of words, images and the relationships that gives them meaning. Quantum physics changed the world. No longer can we view the world in separate, mechanical ways, but we must accept the reality of interconnection, unity and togetherness. Life is poetry.

Yes, Carrie. I think they were. There should definitely be more casual making out. :)
