traitor

Today I was forced to renounce my loyalty to New York by becoming an official resident of Utah. I've been avoiding this since I graduated last year and no longer had the excuse of "I'm a student" to explain my continued licensing from New York. But this semester I decided to take a class at UVU because I've always wanted to take German and because I've been missing doing homework and studying a language. Alas, in order to get my free tuition for being a faculty member, I have to be a resident of Utah. So this morning I trudged reluctantly down to the DLD, took the written driver's test and chooked back a few tears while I was issued a new license. They punched holes in my fancy, 3-D NY license, rendering it obsolete. And now I have a really ugly Utah license with a really ugly picture. But at least I get to take a free class, right?

oh kelly! i'm so sorry. it's not a very good feeling i know... being officially from utah. but just because the government sees you as from utah doesn't mean you are.

PS-- the word verification for my last comment was "jello." An appropriate welcoming gesture to Utah, I am sure.

The truth is, I think you like Utah. I mean how long have you lived here?? Don't diss my hometown lady, I'll take you down!

It figures it would take something that hurt your pocket book to force you into this move.

LONG LIVE UTAH!!!
