Ramblings of a Samurai and his Duct Tape

Back to school!

It's amazing how much a bit of good news can improve the outlook of... well... EVERYTHING! In my mail today was a few envelopes form Stout, among them being my acceptance for re-entry to school so I can finish that degree I started. I overwhelmed myself when I realized how much I have to do and some of the timeline for doing it, but I've made progress on the obvious portions. I feel like I have a future again. I have a rough timeline for getting out of the casino industry now, and I feel like I have a bounce in my step again. This place, or maybe it's just this portion of Iowa, or some combination of the two, has been sucking the life out of me.





I never thought when I left Stout that I'd ever be able to say "I'm going back to school!" with enthusiasm. I can't wait until this fall, and I have so many things to do before then
