I've started grad school. It's really wonderful to be working for an organization that is willing to pay 100% of my tuition.
In the interest of being prudent, I'm only taking one class this semester. Thank goodness, too. I'm rusty and am still trying to strike a balance between coursework, my job, social activities and self-care. I seem to be adjusting nicely, though.
I had a hot sauce making party on Friday. A peck of habanero peppers found their way into my home, so an evening of creative cooking and fire eating was in order. At one point, it was as if someone had tear-gassed the kitchen. Brilliant endorphins.
I also haven't updated since my trip to Burning Man. It was the most incredible trip I've ever taken. Inspirational and life-affirming. Constant sensory overload- a carnival of the absurd. Pure, unfiltered love coursing through thirty-eight thousand people in the harsh environment of the desert. Next year I'll be driving my own art car, as the plans for modifying the Buick are underway with the help of a blacksmith and a welder. I do have a couple of images from the 2006 Burn to share.
