So I went to the RMV on Tuesday to try and get a new license. I did, but here's the thing: it will still be an "Under 21 Issued." Today I tried to cancel the whole thing, because it cost me 40 bucks and if I want to get a regular one, I have to wait until after my birthday and pay another $20. But I won't be here long enough after my birthday anyway. So I guess I did the only thing I could do and it's just going to cost me another $20 after I get back from California. ug. These are the small problem you encounter when your family moves 3000 miles away.

It took me three and a half hours to trace and cut out 20 foam hands for Icarus. I don't think it should have taken me that long, but I was working non-stop. I wonder, if at the Puppet Heap, it take them that long. As I was working I kept thinking about what I should do after graduation. I'm not that great at building, but I'm getting better. Would I good enough to work at the Puppet Heap? Do I even want to work at the Heap. I mean I want to perform, not build, for the rest of my life.
I really think the Puppet Lab would be the perfect setting for a reality show. Like for TLC or something.

i just worked out at the mansfield community center because the uconn gym is closed. they have t.v.s in the treadmills! not that i watch t.v. when i workout, but it was pretty cool! it was also nice to get a workout in. it was far to cold to train outside today.
my dad just left to travel back to california. i miss him already. i know it will only be two weeks of so until i see him and the rest of my family again, but its tough to be so far away during the holday season. i do have some time to myself so i better make good use of it. hopefully i can get my interview for the new york city teaching fellows together. yikes. very nerve racking.
maybe some guitar and ukulele practice too.

I am teaching myself the ukulele. I printed out a chord chart and on a loner "uke" from Ken Clarck, I am learning how to make this cute little instrument sound good. So far I only know "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." If I gain about 600 pounds you might mistake me for Isreal Kamakawiwo'ole. Maybe.
