eya, eya, nova gaudia

My mother and I baked lemon bars together for the first time since I was seven. Or possibly the last time was when I was ten. This temporal distance seemed much more significant to me several hours ago, but I'd like to take today's baking as a good sign for the future.

Needless to say, it's amazing how much of your own handiwork you end up eating in the process despite trying to save the remains for other people. Was it Agatha Christie who said that good intentions pave the path to hell?

On a different note, I'm fairly certain about where I'll be headed to college (USC) and will probably be sending off my enrollment info tomorrow afternoon if not Tuesday. Kerstin, try not to look like you're attending my funeral.

Thanks. I hope that you figure out college stuff and be happy wherever you end up. If you stop talking to me next year I will be very sad.
